LET FEJES FLY
What if your livelihood was taken away without your right to a jury trial?
Do you agree with federal government overreach?
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
In 2017, James Fejes Jr., a licensed marijuana cultivator in Alaska, was
charged with transportation of approved marijuana involving an aircraft. Despite having state approval to transport and distribute marijuana, he was given a lifetime revocation of his pilot's license from the FAA. Furthermore, he is now subject to 365 days in jail and $50,000 in civil fines.
This case, being the first of its kind, is setting a debilitating precedent that will affect the entire marijuana industry during its early legal formation. This affects anyone involved with the act or facilitation of transporting legal marijuana via aircraft, private or commercial. Even non pilots can be cited by the FAA. Since they are a civil agency this means you are subject to $50,000 in fines or up to one year in jail without the ability to face a jury of your peers .
THE MAIN POINT
This is more than just a fight for fair legal marijuana practices, this is about protecting businesses and individuals from getting caught in conflicting statutes. Confusing verbiage and unfair overreach are creating an unsettling vulnerability for people playing by the ever changing rules given to them. This newly emerging market has a lot of positive potential, but needs our support to fulfil it.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Give to the Cause
Personal Expenditures to Date from James Fejes Jr: almost $20,000 out of his own pocket!
Minimum Funding Needed for Legal Representation: $50,000+
Your donation shows you not only care about fair small business practices but that you disagree with outdated and conflicting government codes.
We have hired arguably the best lawyers in Aviation and Marijuana legal fields to represent
James in his efforts to preserve operational freedoms for the entire industry. Soon, James and his team will face the National Transport and Safety Board’s judge.
$30,000 will ensure proper defense that will shape the laws of marijuana transportation forever. Any funds over the final amount of James’ defense will be donated to the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association as they continue their mission to “promote and advocate for a vibrant and reasonably regulated Alaska-based marijuana industry.”
