Letter: Medical marijuana can be grown legally
I am the country boy who lived in Dawson County and challenged Montana law over my use of medical marijuana treating my multiple sclerosis in December 1999.
I was an indoor grower who grew only enough for myself and did 19 months in the Montana State Prison for the crime of taking care of my health the best way that I knew.
I grew illegally until I went to prison. Since prison, I have grown legally in the states of Washington and Oregon.
I cannot understand why the medical-marijuana growers are so afraid of the federal government if they are legitimate, as the 9th District Court of Appeals allow medical necessity as a defense. Have you noticed? Robin Prosser was not and will not be prosecuted. I have never heard of nor seen the feds bother any individual growers growing within the state laws.
