THis was buried in another thread. The original poster is new and cant create a new thread. So I am putting it where it belongs. I have no personal connection to this at all.

The most serious charge carries a mandatory minimum of 20 years in prison, for what is called “continuing criminal enterprise.”
In reality, all that the defendants were doing was running a medical marijuana dispensary in accordance with state law.
This was a federal trial, however, and state law was not a defense or a subject of legal argument. Federal law does not recognize medical marijuana. Please sign this petition, asking the judge to give Ricardo Montes and Luke Scarmazzo the leniency they deserve. And I beg for you to send it or provide it to other prop 215 supporters. Thank you! http://www.gopetition.com/online/19434.html
