Guy Bragging on 9news about growing gets busted by DEA!!!

amount medically necessary is to be determined by the caregiver, not the doctor, according to the the Amendment... This case *could* help clear all of this up....

State law is totally irrelevant to the outcome of this case. The genius has been charged under federal law, where you're in for a penny, in for a pound. Won't clear anything up at all.

I don't carry if I'm holding more than what would be petty offense amounts without a mmj license (i.e., more than an ounce), mostly because of my paranoia about the Feds. Good luck getting an answer from the State. I don't think they know the answer to any questions raised by Amendment 20, nor will anyone else until the State gets done "regulating," and then some cases wend their way through the Courts, and anyone who says they know any of the answers is full of shit.

As to the Feds, the case law is pretty clear that the 9th and 10th amendments are totally meaningless, and they can do whatever the hell they want, irrespective of State law to the contrary. More's the pity.

id probably get arrested:( bungholes

Arguably, there was already a test case for this that we hit on in our blog: Marijuana news, Medicinal marijuana and mmj cards | blog.thereleafcenter.com

Thomas Sexton was growing in Pueblo with extra plant counts on recs. It was argued that he negotiated his plant counts up, that they weren't medically necessary, and he was found guilty.

His biggest mistake was giving away his utility amounts and saying he had a jungle of electrical wires running through there. Oh, and not having enough patients. Whoops!

those bone heads bring media attention to the topic we share in common. like the black woman who refused to sit at the back of the bus. some of our people sit there point fingers laugh and have a good time at the expense of others for what should be a god given right. what we need is televised scientific studies and medical studies so that everyone sees who the real dopers are. wow mmj cures all that why didnt we hear about that on the news????:wtf: and lets be clear people you weren't always legal stop acting all high and mighty. if we divide legal from not legal were going to kill the potential from REAL legalization.

MEDED SO YOU CAN MEDEDICATE TO MEDEDITATE

Not all publicity is good publicity. This idiot going on television saying he would make $400,000/yr growing in his basement is definitely bad publicity (especially for him.) It doesn't take a genius to see that.

And Sexton is only a test case if it is appealed based on the issue one wishes to test. Procedurally, since it was a jury verdict, it's entirely possible the jury just didn't believe the amount he was in possession of was medically necessary. As a finding of fact that cannot be appealed. Also, he was acquitted of cultivation, and convicted of possession, so the plant count issue won't be tested at the appellate level in this case.

Hope he has some sick patients and a doctor with some balls.

still doesn matter federal law doesnt recognize mmj only arrests to boost profits for all involved. they are just one group of our rogue employees that no longer feel that they should work under the rule of the people. the ama now recognizes mj as a medicine and still no change in laws. traitors

true....however its cases like these that will challeng mj on a federal level and hopefully get us a favorable precedence and that media attention will be enormous. suddenly all the lies will surface via a media frenzy and there will be a bunch of knuckle draggers scratching their heads thinking "they lied to me?" wont that be poetic:D
