POT SMOKER CHALLENGES CONDITIONS OF HIS BAIL
After waiting 14 hours in custody, marijuana advocate Grant Krieger was
released early Friday on $300 bail and ordered not to touch the drug after
being charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
But it was a condition Krieger said he couldn't abide by, explaining he
already "blew that one when I got out of the police station." It means he
could end up back in custody for violating the conditions of his release.
Krieger, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, has permission from the
federal government to use marijuana for medical purposes. He was arrested
Thursday after police allegedly found 550 grams of marijuana and drug
paraphernalia in his car.
