California man sues for return of medical pot cop confiscated

SACRAMENTO — Kyle Kelly had just paid $45 for an eighth of an ounce of pot at a Sacramento medical marijuana dispensary when a California Highway Patrol officer pulled him over on a routine traffic stop.

The officer noticed Kelly had a copy of the West Coast Leaf – "The Cannabis Community Newspaper of Record" – in the car and asked the 25-year-old Sacramento man if he had any weed on him.

Kelly admitted that he did. But he didn't have his doctor's certificate of approval as well, so the CHP officer confiscated the pot and wrote him a ticket for misdemeanor marijuana possession.
