LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles judge has ordered that 60 pounds of pot confiscated by the California Highway Patrol during an arrest be returned to the defendant.
Superior Court Judge William Sterling on Friday ordered the marijuana returned to Saguro Doven. The 33-year-old’s attorneys successfully argued that he had the legal right to transport it under medical marijuana guidelines issued by state Attorney General Jerry Brown.
Doven’s attorney says his client was a member of a Venice-based medical marijuana collective.
According to court records, a California Highway Patrol officer arrested Doven after discovering the marijuana during a traffic stop. Doven initially was charged with possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of the drug. The charges have been dropped.

Now, this is a new one for me....
Next thing: When you find a 60 Kilos of Coke.... Make sure they don't belong to someone affiliated with the "Venice-Based Medical Cocaine Collective..." Or, whatever.... Who cares anymore...
These Liberal Judges and America's Liberal thinking are bound to produce these type of "news" soon anyway...
