A September 23 blog quoted Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett as saying he's "committed to having the most progressive approach to medical marijuana of any DA's office in the state." Among those who commented on the item was one Nicholas Polashek, who wrote:
Then why is the Boulder County DA's office prosecuting me, a legitimate medical patient with an 11 year history of chronic pain due to congenital deformities in both of my hips? I had 3.66 ounces (I did not know the weight) on me when pulled over for a dirty license plate. I had cookies proving I was eating my medication and I had a large quantity because of my high dosage. Even though the DA's office has all of this information they are still prosecuting me for a felony hoping I am too impoverished to mount an adequate defense, even attempting to force me to trial without proper representation at my last court date. This is in direct contradiction to the statements by Stan Garnett in this article.
