Charlie Lynch Trial Begins Tuesday

|

Charlie Lynch is the owner of a medical marijuana dispensary in Morro Bay, California.  Though the business is legal under state law, Lynch was arrested in July of last year for violating federal drug laws.  Last month, he was featured in the Drew Carey documentary below.  As the video explains, Lynch is facing extra charges for giving medical marijuana to 17-year-old Owen Beck, who used the drug to treat the symptoms of bone cancer.

Lynch faces up to 100 years in prison.  His trial begins Tuesday.

Check Lynch's website for more information on his case, including directions to the courthouse where he'll be tried.
