Many California pot cases getting tossed out (illegal, drugs, suspected)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

Police in a northern California town thought they had an open-and-shut case when they seized more than two pounds of marijuana from a couple's home, even though doctors authorized the pair to use pot for medical purposes.

San Francisco police thought the same with a father and son team they suspected of abusing the state's medical marijuana law by allegedly operating an illegal trafficking operation.

But both cases were tossed out along with many other marijuana possession cases...

And the march toward legalization (and more personal freedom) continues. I believe this is a good thing.

Legalization may help Cali with its money woes.

Locking people up is no longer feasible.

The first case was legitimately thrown out, seeing as the marijuana was authorized and legally dispensed. In the second, if there was an illegal trafficking operation of medical marijuana, it should have been pursued. It is no different than someone selling their Parcoset, Oxycontin, or other proscribed drugs acquired legally to second hand sources..
