Colorado - Medical marijuana advocates are protesting recent drug raids in advance of President Barack Obama's visit to Denver.
Obama will be in town this afternoon campaigning for Sen. Michael Bennet. His visit comes two days after a man who was allegedly growing over 200 marijuana plants in his Highlands Ranch home was charged with a federal crime.
Colorado is one of 14 states that allow medical marijuana and the Obama administration has said it wouldn't target people who were in compliance with such laws.
But Denver's top federal drug agent says Colorado's law isn't clear and the Highlands Ranch grower appeared to be violating it by growing so many plants.
Agents have also confiscated marijuana in recent weeks from two labs set up to test marijuana used in dispensaries.
