A Colorado judge ruled Wednesday that police should return dozens of marijuana plants to a former Marine and 1991 Persian Gulf War veteran who is a licensed medical marijuana user.
“It’s great — I need my stuff back,” said Kevin Dickes, 39, a Denver-area construction worker who left the Marine Corps as a lance corporal in 1993.
Aurora, Colo., police raided Dickes’ home in April and seized plants growing in his basement. He was handcuffed, arrested and charged with a felony count of cultivating marijuana, which carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison.

If the plants are not returned in good condition consider this
The Drug Enforcement Agency applies a price of $5,200 to each pound of marijuana; if that standard applies, Dickes’ plants could be worth more than $100,000, depending on the weight.
