Medical marijuana activist Dustin Costa was
convicted in federal court last week and could now spend the rest of his life in prison. Costaâs was the first federal trial of a medical marijuana patient in three years, demonstrating that the feds remain willing to pervert justice and lie to jurors in order to undermine Californiaâs medical marijuana law.
The defense was prohibited from informing jurors that Costa is president of the Merced Patients Group and that his 908 plants were unquestionably intended for medical use.
Meanwhile, further north, the Washington State Supreme Court recently
upheld the conviction of medical marijuana patient Sharon Lee Tracy.
