There were many things racing through my head when I first met Roger Rabbit, the OG king of Shroomery.org! But an almost decade long battle to get his stolen land back in Malo, WA was not one of them. I’ve spent the better part of two years in conversations with Marc, going back and forth from the east coast to the west coast, riding motorcycles all over hell’s half acre to saturate myself in and understand the entire situation. After all this could happen to any of us and in fact it has happened to several of us cultivators in recent years. Reading through all of the documentation Marc diligently kept on the illegal destruction and seizure of his property, it still blows my mind that this sort of thing continues to happen in the United States, without retribution or even a day in court. Put simply, we humans can be a doomed people solely looking for an opportunity to exploit without much thought other than, how might I gain from this. I chose to believe the majority of the mushroom community is not like this and therefore we can help one another out when called upon. I know I do, every day, helping farms solve cultivation issues early in the morning, on my drive to and from the farm and late into each night. We are a different breed of people driven by different forces, we want to help, we are the earth workers and the lab nerds who shine bright with curiosity, determination and kindness. The town of Malo in Ferry County Washington is where Marc planned to retire. It is where his wife Vivian passed away and it is the place most of us know well from his “Let’s Grow Mushrooms” video series. The shipping container fruiting room buried in the side of the mountain, the double barrel steamer and that infamous tiny flowhood. The people of Malo WA are not our people, they are demonic chess players who thrive on motivations of advancement without concern for the people it negatively affects.
Being denied a day to make his case at the Supreme Court level, Marc R Keith, alone, is out of options. But with a little help from our community, Marc might be able to get his property back and prove a wrong doing so intentional and illegal that even at a glance one would wonder how this was all allowed to happen. So I, Erik Lomen and the entire MycoWizards and Cap N Stem crew, along with Marc R Keith, ask you, MycoWizards of the world, to send out 4 letters referencing Marc R Keith vs. Ferry Country, WA to:
FBI Field Office, Seattle
