California Medical Marijuana Patient to Get Weed Back from Arizona Cops

Valerie Ann Okun, a Southern California woman, is getting her medicinal marijuana back from the Arizona cops who seized it.

But now the weed is nearly two years old.

Okun seems to be the winner in a case that started in 2011 when cops found cannabis on her when she stopped her vehicle at a checkpoint in Yuma, Arizona:

An Arizona state appeals court ruled yesterday that Okun, who’s from the North County San Diego beach community of Encinitas, could indeed have her bud back.

Not only was she a verified and legal California medical marijuana patient, but the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act says such patients from other states can hold a limited amount of cannabis in Arizona.

After her arrest that fateful day, prosecutors dropped charges after learning she was a legit pot patient. Then Okun asked deputies to return her weed. No dice.

The state and the Yuma County Sheriff’s Department have fought the case at every step and even now the top cop in town states that he’s reviewing his options. The appeals court affirmed the ruling of a superior court in the matter.
