ccguide Tuesday 22 Oct 2002 Pubdate: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 Source: New Times (CA) Copyright: 2002 New Times Contact: Website: http://www.newtimesslo.com/ Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/1277 Related: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v02/n1834/a06.html Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/mmj.htm (Cannabis - Medicinal) MEDICAL POT PATIENT PREVAILS IN COURT Donovan No Runner, who staged a month-long "occupation" of the county courthouse steps in San Luis Obispo to protest his arrest and police confiscation of his medical marijuana supply has been vindicated. Charges of marijuana possession were dismissed recently, and Judge Barry LaBarbara issued a court order to San Luis Obispo police to return No Runner's stash. The Native American suffers from a bipolar condition and has a physician's prescription for the drug. He said he explained that to officers who cited him and took his pot, but to no avail. "It went as expected," said No Runner's San Luis Obispo attorney Lou Koory of the court proceedings. "Judge LaBarbara's ruling was appropriate. Mr. No Runner will get his medication back." During No Runner's residency on the courthouse steps, he erected a tent and was accompanied by his wife and infant. Koory said that time, "There's is nothing more American than what Donovan No Runner is doing." - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
