This story enraged me unlike any other I heard about my country. The amount of corruption and inequality we are facing today is unbelievable. We are not the same under the eye of justice like we are supposed to be. The system is corrupt and plagued, favors the rich while stomping on the poor and powerless. It's like that bully in school that used to beat you up and take your lunch money. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP2uweyXgawVtvmJrtYQGiziJmPYB4osTmhFkJ6p31gkv/image.png)

Two men were caught with an illegal plant in a corrupt country. One is a nephew of a politician while the other is a regular guy who was unlucky enough to get multiple sclerosis. Who do you think got more?

Allthough this may sound like a good start to a joke, it's not. This is the reality in Croatia, and probably many more countries worldwide.

Josip Kerum (27)

Nephew of a corrupt and powerful business-man Željko Kerum, who has after successfully building his empire using ties to powerful people in good positions. Later on Kerum pulled some strings and called a couple of favors and literally bought his way into politics and became a member of the parliament.
This isn't unusuall in a country that is ran by external influence of banksters, USA and NATO.Most of our high ranking politicians are brought in position from Bruxelles, and are doing everything they can to make their owners some profit. Taking orders from the top and saying only what they were told to say, our polititians are puppets in the tragedy show that my country has become.

Just look at what kind of people are running my country. This guy is one of the most arrogant and stupid people you will ever meet. Not only does he talk and walks like a hillbilly, he spends most his money on cocaine, hookers and gambling. A few years ago he lost a hotel worth 20 million dollars in one day of gambling. This guy is insane. Always showing of his Ferrari's and Maybachs like he's some sort of a hollywood superstar. He was the frist man in Croatia to buy this Maybach and he literally displayed it to the people he thinks as peasants in one of his many stores. Again flashing his wealth to the ones who are unlucky enough to work for him. And if that wasn't enough he is completely ignorant and stupid and never fails to dissapoint in showing that when he speaks up.

Imagine the stupidest person you know, multiply the stupidity by at least 2 and you'll get somewhere close to Kerum's level.

Josip Kerum

Was caught in Zagreb trying to smuggle 15kg of marijuana to Split (350km away). Being a Kerum and having connections this tard got 1 year probation! Probation?! Are you fucking kidding me? If they found me with 50g of weed on me they would put me behind bars for at least a couple of months and he got probation for 15kg?!?!? This must be some sick joke. But it's not, it's the reality I'm living in.

In Croatia you can live life like it's GTA and and do whatever you want provided that you have enough money to pay your way out. There will be no one to stop you because if you get caught, you can just grease up the right people and start all over again like nothing happened.

Now see what happens when you are just a regular guy. Living a normal life, working a 9 to 5 job and barely making it through the year. No connections or anything just a decent guy trying to survive in this lousy excuse for a country.

Huanito Luksetić (39)

He was unfortunate enough to get multiple sclerosis and because of it had a hard time talking, seeing and walking. He was even bound to the bed for a couple of months in his hardest days. He couldn't move and could barely speak.

Somehow he learned about medical marijuana and that its oil can help fight the symptoms he was experiencing and soothe his agony. After finding out that a monthly dose he would need costs 500€ ( more than he earns ) in the pharmacy he was forced to buy it from the black market but later decided to grow it in his garden. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd42mRH7ukDM2juP197Xb8az5W8aoMD5Wc6M1rEEwjLXN/image.png) He immediately noticed improvements and his sympthoms slowly faded away. He could walk and talk normally once again and was without a problem doing all the work in his field himself. It was a miracle and a lifesaver all in a form of a herb we were gifted by mother nature but taken away by big pharma. What do you mean taken away, you said you can get medicinal marijuana in a pharmacy? Well first of all the law legalizing medicinal marijuana came in a few months ago. Before you had nowhere to get it and were forced to reach out to the black market. Now you can buy it but it's too expensive with a monthly dose costing more than the average paycheck. Forcing people to go to the black market and buy untested oils of who knows what or growing and making it for themselves as most people do. But then you are facing criminal charges for making yourself a cure while the real criminals run our country. This is completely absurd and I can't tell you how much this is frustrating me.

Getting back to Huanitos story

![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSs4hA9g1avtbCtteEkvVnH9fqUQ6SVjPNNiXQxUfwLkt/image.png) Few years into making his cure he got a knock on the door by the police and was persecuted and convicted to 2 years in jail. He is still waiting for final results as he made a plea for another evaluation of his case hoping to be freed or at least minimal sentence, as he wasn't growing it to sell or take profits but to cure himself and help fight the symptoms of the disease he was unlucky enough to get in the first place.

Huanito became a symbol of resistance to the system of oppression and is getting support from many people all over the country that were facing the same problems or just have sympathy for the situation and understand his situation and what the system is trying to do in his case. Big pharma with its huge influence is trying to make Huanito a poster boy for others to see what is going to happen if you don't oblige to their rules. Eather buy their GMO, overpriced marijuana that probably won't even help you or face criminal charges in an unfair system and go to jail. This just about wraps it up and gives you an insight into the inequality we are facing in our justice system and serves as a perfect example to what reality we are living in. There is no justice in Croatia, only a couple of basic rules. * Money is power * Connections are the key to success * The system is rigged to favor the rich * The rich will get richer while the poor get poorer All of this at the expense of the 99% while the 1% are living a dream life. This is just one example of how absurd the system is, and I'll write more about it in the future, exposing the criminals running my country.

In the mean time let's pray that Huanito gets freed because if they put him in jail he will return to his worst state. And will once again be bound to his bed, unable to talk or see normally with constant seizures as he was before starting treatment with marijuana oil.
