SUSPECT GOT DRUGS FROM MARIJUANA CLUB MILLBRAE, Calif. -- A homeless man was jailed on suspicion of supplying high school students with pot he obtained from a medical marijuana club in San Francisco. Shawn Simon, 23, was arrested this week near Mills High School. Students told police he had supplied them with morphine tablets, whiskey, and marijuana for the past six weeks. "The disturbing thing was he would brag to these kids that he had access to marijuana because he was a member of the cannabis club," Capt. Mike Grogan said. Grogan said Simon was carrying an official card identifying him as eligible to obtain medical marijuana. Simon most recently lived in San Francisco, where he was on disability for a hip injury, authorities said. With $25 and a doctor's note, sick people can get a San Francisco ID card issued by the city entitling them to obtain medicinal marijuana. Californians voted to approve medical marijuana in 1996. It was not immediately known whether Simon had a lawyer.
