Question Obtaining Seeds

Suppose I am a medical marijuana patient from California, and I am protected under Proposition 215. Could I get into trouble for buying seeds online?

I got this from a website explaining Prop 215:
"Under Prop. 215, the cultivation of marijuana plants for the personal, medical use of a patient is permitted. However, the seeds necessary to begin cultivating marijuana are no more legal or available than before. Again, a patient must go to the black market for seeds or seedlings, and the transaction itself is still illegal. Cultivation remains a felony in most cases under state and federal law. A person arrested and charged under state law has the right to use a Prop. 215 defense. Federal agents are believed to be unlikely to arrest and prosecute small-time growers of marijuana for medical use, because small-scale cases are not a high priority to federal law enforcement. Still, prosecutions by federal agencies are possible."

It says here that the transaction is still illegal. If I bought one pack of seeds online and somehow got busted by the feds, would I have a good court case since I am a patient?
