LAS VEGAS - Rhonda Shade's garage used to be packed with pot. Dozens of marijuana plants are now gone. The lights that used to hang in the garage were seized in a drug raid.
"They've taken our finished medicine, which was ready for use, and they took all of our equipment," she said. "Law enforcement is taught to look for these lights and these plants growing, and maybe it looks crazy to them, but it was beautiful to us. That was our medicine, and we took pride in it. There's nothing wrong with that, and I'm not going to be ashamed of that."
Shade says she would rather treat her back pain with pot than a prescription drug. The Nevada Division of Health accepted her application for a medical marijuana card. She claims a doctor's note indicates her husband can grow more than the seven plants the law allows.
Shade recently lobbied the Nevada Legislature to relax Nevada's medical marijuana law. She had just returned from Carson City Saturday night, when Metro Police showed up armed with a search warrant.
