POT NO EXCUSE FOR STUTTERING

(AUBURN, CA) -- A Placer County jury didn't accept a man's excuse that he
smoked marijuana to relieve a stuttering problem. David Black of Dutch Flat
was found guilty of possession of more than one-ounce of marijuana. Deputy
District Attorney David Tellman says ``I don't think that stuttering is one
of the illnesses that voters contemplated when they voted in favor of
Proposition 215.'
