William Leonard Pickard

It has been over ten years since Leonard was arrested for allegedly synthesizing LSD at a missile silo in Kansas.

Although he had a newborn child with his young wife, he chose at great risk to go to trial so that he might live the rest of his life with his wife and child. As you read this, he is still in confinement with two life sentences, and struggling daily with the legal intricacies of this case. He practices meditation while in prison, and send his thoughts to world peace. We ask for your loving kindness and support for this dear gentle soul, who is a casualty in the war on drugs.

"All darkness disappears
From those who carry
The radiance of the sun
In their hearts."
