Sacramento: 54 year-old Richard James Marino of Roseville received 4 years and 3 months in prison and was fined $2,500 on Tuesday for violating the federal Controlled Substances Act.
Marino ran an Old Roseville cannabis dispensary under the California Compassionate Use Act. Marino told U.S. District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton "I'm a victim of a law that is backward and unfair."
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Wong said that the federal government had a zero tolerance policy and that Marino's dispensary was running a profit in violation of the California law.
