Ore. Supreme Court rules moving marijuana illegal
By Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Helping a friend move a few plants to his new house can get you into trouble with the police, if they happen to be marijuana plants.
The Oregon Supreme Court ruled Friday that a man who helped his friend move things could be convicted on marijuana possession charges. Thomas Fries argued he should be acquitted because he was acting at his friend's direction and just helping with the move when he loaded the plants in his SUV. But the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that physical control of property is sufficient to prove actual possession. The court noted there are exceptions in the law that permit people to possess marijuana in limited situations - but this was not one of them. |
