Am I missing something? Is this being tried as a federal case or a state case? If it's a state court for charges brought by an agency of the state (not feds) how does the prosecution even think it's going to win as it is a right protected by the state constitution? Is someone up for re-election or have a personal vendetta against MMJ?

Please excuse any ignorance I may have regarding this trial, this is the first I've really heard about it. Best of luck to Jason!

Not entirely sure of the numbers of plants, but state law allows for 6 plants... this guy had several hundred.

Colorado MM patients have a very nice legal precident for future decisions about how much is enough.
