Colorado is one of 10 states that allows people with certain medical conditions to use and grow marijuana with a doctor’s approval.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people who use marijuana legally for medical purposes can still be prosecuted under federal drug laws. The ruling did not, however, overturn state laws. This was the first time in Colorado since the June ruling that police have returned confiscated medical marijuana to a person.

This marks the first occasion in Colorado since the June U.S. Supreme Court decision on medical marijuana where police have returned marijuana to a person from whom it was seized.

“Recent Trends Involving the Law of Arrest, Search, and Seizure In Colorado”
