Thomas Lawrence readies a bong in the evening. State and federal officers raided Lawrence's home June 1. They found 84 marijuana plants and five pounds of bagged marijuana in the basement - much more than the law allows for their six licensed patients. Lawrence and his wife, Larisa, are two of seven marijuana growers licensed by the state as "caregivers" who are authorized to provide marijuana to more than one person.
