MARIJUANA "GURU" WINS RELEASE IN CALIFORNIA
SAN FRANCISCO- Ed Rosenthal,the self proclaimed "guru of ganja" walked free
yesterday after a federal judge sentenced him to just one day in prison,
with time served for growing marijuana Rosenthal said was for medical purposes.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said Rosenthal, 58, genuinely believed
that what he was doing was not against the law.
