BRONSON, Fla., July 26 (UPI) A Levy County man and his son will use a medical necessity defense when they are tried for marijuana cultivation and possession.
Jury selection begins today in the trial of 46-year-old Joseph Taci and his 20-year-old son Michael. They were arrested in May 1998 after deputies allegedly saw five pot plants growing outside the family's home during an aerial surveillance. The elder Taci suffers from pain caused by a 1993 auto accident and has received prescriptions for marijuana from three doctors. He said he started growing his own marijuana because it was cheaper than buying it. Another man who used a medical necessity defense was acquitted of similar charges in Levy County earlier.Updated 10:48 AM ET July 26, 1999 Trial To Highlight Use Of Marijuana As Medicine - 7/24/99http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread2195.shtml
