MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT GOES ON TRIAL IN BOULDER

BOULDER - A medical marijuana user is scheduled to go on trial in
Boulder, accused of possessing too much of the drug.

Thirty-eight-year-old Jason Lauve was arrested in June 2008 after
police found more than 30 marijuana plants in his Louisville home.
His trial is scheduled to start Monday.

Colorado's medical marijuana law allows people to have six marijuana
plants and two ounces of usable marijuana. However it also allows
patients to prove they need more to treat their condition.

Lauve has said that he had trouble growing marijuana and that dozens
of the plants were unusable. He said he kept them in trash bags in
his garage because he didn't want to leave them outside for trash pickup.

Police say undisclosed evidence leads them to believe Lauve broke the law.
