In an interesting twist to the ongoing battle between medicinal marijuana advocates and law enforcement, a Ramona couple stands accused of illegally growing pot on their property despite holding county-issued medicinal marijuana cards. At 5:30 a.m., federal and state narcotics agents – with guns drawn - raided the home of Dennis and Deborah Little.

“In my mind, we're legal. Everything's good. We got our cards, we're legal,” Dennis Little told NBC 7 San Diego.

The 64-year-old suffers from a chronic nerve disorder. His wife Deborah, 59 is a cancer patient, treated for AIDS for the last 20-years.

In 2011, they began growing marijuana after being issued medical Marijuana cards.

“This was just our little private thing that we decided to try because, we were getting tired of all the, she's taking hands full of pills every day for her conditions. And I'm taking anti-depressants,” Dennis Little said.

Prosecutors say there is enough evidence to show the couple was breaking the law. Legally, medical marijuana users can have an amount of the drug reasonably related to their conditions. Prosecutors say agents seized hundreds of pounds of useable marijuana. The Little's dispute that claim saying they had 25 plants. They also deny charges they planned to sell the drug.

“We've never sold to anybody. We don't go to dispensaries. We bought from two dispensaries,” Deborah Little said.

“I think it's silly. It's a tremendous waste of taxpayers’ dollars,” her husband added.

The Little's say they've received unexpected support from medical marijuana advocate groups but are embarrassed that their private health stories have become public. However, they say they want people to take a closer look at the debate on medicinal marijuana use.

“Do some research on the Internet. Check it out. Read the articles on it. Cannabis can help you, it's helped me. I swear by it,” Dennis Little said. That may be the case, but prosecutors say the Little’s broke the law and gave conflicting information to investigators. The case goes to trial later this year. If found guilty, the couple faces up to six years in prison.

[VenturaHwy]

Disgusting, lying pigs.........

[greenhaus]

dont believe everything you hear.

100lbs WET is how they weigh it.
they arent going to dry your plants for you and then wait to weigh it out....


and people ARE growing way more than they should be. there are people that make claims and arguements but in reality they are growing a shit load of bud and selling it.

25 plants can produce 100lbs if they have them in big ass smart pots. two people dont need 100lbs to last them thru the winter til next season. its all bullshit.

That's bull. The article said "hundreds" of lbs. That means at least 200 pounds, which is impossible with 25 plants now matter how big the pots are, and indoors to boot. No way you can even approach those numbers inside no matter how big the pots. Do you actually not realize that the pigs lie as a matter of course in these situations? If you think that, you are truly naive.
Pigs/DEA/Feds lie for a living. It's who they are, it's what they do.

I can't help but notice that you seem to be stating that like it's a bad thing?

The fact is... cannabis should be completely un-restricted. I applaud anyone that bucks the system and helps other people get access to cannabis.

If it wasn't for illegal growers when I was growing up... I probably would be in prison or have committed suicide before now. No way I'm gonna be upset about patients helping out with bud to the neighborhood.

That being said... these people risk being busted. Being dumb will make it happen quicker. CA is also full of socialists that would have a problem with older people being comfortable and solvent... if they committed non-victim crimes to do it.

Stay Safe!

Hundreds of lbs is likely anything over 100.00000000000000001 lbs. wet weight with containers, roots, dirt or hydroton, etc. dangling.

If you can prove intent to distribute then prove it by action. And if you can, so what. It is still a bull shit rap.
