Medical Marijuana Ganja Guru Faces New Pot Charges
In today’s news, a federal grand jury has again indicted the self-proclaimed “Guru of Ganja” on charges that he grew hundreds of marijuana plants for a medical marijuana program. Back in 2003, Ed Rosenthal was convicted for cultivating marijuana plants for an Oakland, California medical marijuana program. Back in April of this year, an appeals court overturned the conviction, citing jury misconduct, but the court upheld the federal government’s powers to charge marijuana growers in the state of California.
