Arrested for legal medical marijuana?

Change.org reports on medical marijuana arrests in California saying, "As a candidate, President Obama said he'd put a stop to the controversial raids on medical marijuana patients and their providers who complied with state law. James Stacy (pictured), the owner of a marijuana collective in San Diego County, listened. Now he faces a trial on federal drug charges where he's not even allowed to tell the truth: that what he was doing was legal under a California law approved by voters 14 years ago."

As of this writing, more than 1,000 Change.org members have come to Stacy's defense by adding their names to a list calling for reform. You can read the entire article here. Could this happen here in Colorado where medical marijuana was recently legalized?
