Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Dear Rhonda, A guy from California who has since relocated here because his wife was transferred was arrested last week. The cops were tipped off that a shipment was coming. They came in the FedEx truck and cuffed him. He says he is going to fight it. He did have a prescription and ID card to prove it was legal for him, but maybe it's only good in CA. He might break the mold if it goes to the Supreme Court and vows he will. __________________________________ Published in M2 EquityBites on Tuesday, 01 July 2008 at 09:44 GMT Copyright © 2008, M2 Communications Ltd.
