Tom Juzbasic, also known as "Tom the Nurse" was arrested in UN Plaza in San Francisco, the "Sanctuary for Medical Cannabis", on June 6th, 2003. In a major victory for local med-can patients, a considerate Judge Charles Haines dismissed the possession for sale (of cannabis) charge against Thomas W. Juzbasic in San Francisco Superior Court. Story On the date of his arrest, he was booked and held overnight in jail, and the police seized thousands of dollars from his bank account. He has faced numerous court dates related to his current charge of "possession of marijuana for sale," ever since. Tom is both a Licensed Vocational Nurse and a medical marijuana patient. He has refused to waive time, which means that the D.A. has to bring his case to trial within sixty days or drop the charges against him. Tom had a court date on Friday, August 20th. His next court date was scheduled for September 1st.
