In 2011 Reason.tv was profiling Aaron Sandusky, the owner of a medical marijuana dispensary in Upland, California, in the midst of the federal crackdown on medical marijuana. While they were making the video, Sandusky’s dispensary and grow house were raided, his assets seized and his product destroyed.

Undeterred, Sandusky joined a lawsuit with several other dispensary owners, challenging the right of city governments to outright ban dispensaries. After a favorable ruling from an appellate court, Sandusky re-opened, and the city of Upland could do nothing to stop him. But the Feds were not happy with this turn of events.

And what do the feds do when they are unhappy with something? They do their best to eliminate the source of their unhappiness.

Sandusky was arrested and charged with six counts of drug trafficking, some of which could carry a life sentence. He's spent the last seven weeks in a county prison, just awaiting a bond hearing. He finally was granted bail last Friday and is now out on house arrest, where he awaits an October trial to decide his fate. Reaon.tv interviewed Sandusky after he was released.

He vows to fight on, for himself, and for medical marijuana patients everywhere.
