System works for MMJ patient

Here's a happy story for change. Denver police officials have returned marijuana they confiscated from a Denver man, and did so with an apology. Turned out the guy was one of Colorado's first patients to be prescribed legal, medicinal marijuana.

Lawrence, who smokes the illegal herb to relieve chronic back pain and rheumatoid arthritis, said: "It's more of a victory for the people who actually voted for it, and the rest of the patients to know that the law actually worked.They don't have to be as concerned about what's going to happen if a cop pulls them over.Tell them you're a patient, show them your ID, show them your permit," Police offices suggest medical marijuana users keep their permit with them at all times to avoid confusion.

Good advice.
