Phototron Announces Personal Indoor Marijuana Growing for Medical Use Not the Target of Feds

US Attorney for the Eastern District of California Benjamin Wagner Speaks in Sacramento and Says He's Not Going after Medical Marijuana Patients and Caregivers

GARDENA, Calif., Mar 16, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phototron Holdings, Inc. PHOT -16.67% (otcqb:PHOT), the hydroponic growing systems company behind the "grow your own" revolution, believes the continued crackdown, resulting in the closure of hundreds of dispensaries and seizures of large-scale cannabis grow operations, is making personal indoor growing systems more attractive to medical marijuana patients.

Speaking at a recent press luncheon in Sacramento, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of California Benjamin Wagner said he's not going after medical marijuana patients and caregivers, but he is cracking down on interstate transporters, huge pot farmers and illicit dispensaries grossing tens of thousands of dollars per day. He also issues a warning to large-scale pot farmers that a season of raids in the Central Valley is coming in 2012.

"Medical marijuana patients have fewer options for obtaining their medication safely, and in many places are faced with having to travel long distances or get untested medication off the street," said Craig Ellins, Phototron's CEO. "So patients are increasingly growing their own medication and Phototron's systems are perfect for personal use."
