JUDGE SAYS NO TO DRUGS, EVEN IF DOCTOR PRESCRIBED

FREMONT - A man appearing before a judge Friday morning to show the
court his drug rehabilitation progress reports was ordered not to use
pot even though his doctor had prescribed it.

The man handed the judge a copy of a prescription stating that he was
able to purchase and smoke medicinal marijuana to ease his pain for
tennis elbow.

After thumbing through the papers, Judge Frank Roesch said, "I don't
care what your doctor says, I'm not allowing you to smoke marijuana
for tennis elbow. You'll have to take Advil like everyone else."

Roesch proceeded to tell the man that when he returns for his next
court date, progress reports must show he has not used drugs.

The man, upset by the judge's finding, said, "You'll be hearing from
my physician."
