Bill Montgomery has been stymied in two separate cases of medical marijuana patients who possessed small amounts of concentrated marijuana.
Records show the Republican county attorney will keep trying to saddle one of those valid patients with a felony conviction.
But before we tell you about that patient, we wanted to catch you up on a situation we wrote about in November, in which another bona fide patient was caught in DUI stop and found to be in possession of a single piece of infused candy.
The patient, whom New Times is not identifying at his request, had purchased the Tootsie Pop-like candy at a local compassion club that isn’t approved by the state to sell marijuana.
Montgomery’s office tried to use the case to advance the elected official’s belief that voters did not authorize patients to use concentrated marijuana when they approved the state’s medical-pot law in 2010.
