MARIJUANA GROUP SEEKS OUT SHERIFF

The local chapter of the American Medical Marijuana Association on Thursday
planned to hand Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona a copy of the city of
Oakland's guidelines for allowing certain patients to use marijuana for
medicinal purposes.

Association Director Doug Scribner said city and county police in Orange
County frequently jail marijuana possessors who have a doctor's letter
stating that the drug is part of their medical treatment.

"We want Carona to make a statement that says, 'Yes, we will be supporting
these guidelines, or some of these guidelines,' " Scribner said.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said Carona was in meetings and would not
be able to receive the documents.
