Alice Sanderson and her husband Jeffre were living a quiet, untroubled life in northern California’s rural Plumas County in the summer of 2006. The couple had a nice home, a baby son named Jamie, and an impressive organic vegetable garden. But they had something else that caught the attention of law enforcement and triggered a raid that shattered their lives: a plot of approximately sixty-four tall marijuana plants that could be seen from the sky. When sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at the home, they discovered another grow area: a basement room where over a hundred marijuana clones were in production. However, they also found something that made the district attorney refuse to prosecute the case: evidence showing the grow was a collective garden that supplied ten patients whose doctors had approved their use of marijuana under California’s Compassionate Use Act. |
