Three medical marijuana providers were arraigned Thursday in the first criminal case stemming from a series of federal raids that placed a chill over a once-booming pot industry and preceded sweeping changes to Montana law.
Jason Burns, Jesse Leland and Joshua Schultz pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Missoula to charges of conspiracy, manufacture of marijuana, money laundering, distribution of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute marijuana
