MAN SAID HE HANDED POT PLANT TO QUEEN ELIZABETH

Police said Friday that they plan to question a man who said he gave Queen
Elizabeth II a bouquet containing a marijuana plant.

Colin Davies of the Medical Marijuana Cooperative, which is pushing for
legalization of the substance, said he handed the bouquet to the queen
during her whistle-stop visit Thursday to Manchester, in north England. She
was pictured receiving a bouquet from Davies outside an arts center.

Buckingham Palace said Friday that the queen did not bring the bouquet back
to London. Bouquets handed to the queen during royal engagements are
routinely distributed to hospitals or homes for the elderly.
