he was growing openly, and in strict adherance to the rules then in effect for personal medical use.

False.

But authorities in Placer County contend that Kubby and his wife, Michele, stepped over the line in January when they cultivated an in-house nursery of 265 marijuana plants, 110 of them fully grown and budded females, at their Squaw Valley home.

Note the word "contend" in the article. As I indicated earlier, if it were true, why then weren't the Kubbys convicted of that offense? What has become of the presumption of innocence? You cite a newspaper article. Unnamed "authorities contend" and the Kubbys are "charged with two counts of conspiracy, possession for sale, cultivation, and possession of various controlled substances and ingestion devices." Quite a laundry list, and the best that prosecutors could get was possession of insignificant quantities of psilocybin and peyote?

As to the judge allowing him access to pot, did you, by any chance, pay close attention to subsequent law enforcement activity?

Whatever. Obviously, I will not succeed in convincing you, so I guess you are welcome to your viewpoint.
