Colorado pot sparks showdown with fedsRoutt County, Colorado man wants his marijuana back from DEA. Colorado State and federal authorities are fighting over Don Nord and his three marijuana plants.
The case ultimately could ignite or extinguish a smoldering conflict between Colorado state and federal laws that govern the use of marijuana for medical reasons.
Colorado says it's OK. The federal government says it's not.
In Colorado, neither federal nor Colorado state appellate courts have addressed the issue.
The three marijuana plants, meanwhile, are in a federal laboratory in San Francisco and probably are dead.
The case began when somebody told authorities in Routt County, Colorado where Nord lives, that he was growing marijuana in his home. In fact, he was.
Looking into Nord's background, Colorado officers discovered he had been arrested three times for marijuana-related offenses: for possessing it in 1988 and for growing it in 1989 and 2002, according to court documents.
The outcome of those arrests could not immediately be determined Tuesday.
A task force of federal agents and local police got a search warrant from a Routt County, Colorado judge and went to Nord's home. There, they seized the three marijuana plants, one to eight ounces of marijuana and Nord's special lights and other growing equipment.
Nord, 57, of Hayden, has battled cancer and diabetes and suffers chronic pain. He showed the officers the Colorado certificate allowing him to use marijuana for medical reasons to no avail.
The Colorado officers gave him a ticket, charging him with the misdemeanor of possessing marijuana and the petty offense of possessing marijuana paraphernalia. The ticket ordered Nord to appear in Routt County Court on Nov. 4.
But the government lost its copy of the ticket and failed to file it in court by that date. Routt County, Colorado Judge James Garrecht dismissed the whole thing.
The district attorney could have refiled the charges, but didn't. Deputy DA Marc Guerette, who handled the case, could not be reached Tuesday.
Nord's lawyer, Kristopher Hammond, asked Garrecht to order the return of Nord's three marijuana plants, his marijuana and his equipment.
On Monday, Garrecht ordered the feds to give it back within 21 days.
They don't want to.
They've shipped Nord's marijuana to their lab in San Francisco, and they won't give it back willingly, according to DEA spokesman Dan Reuter.
"The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is not in the habit of returning illegal contraband," he said.
Colorado lets people with certain illnesses and conditions, including cancer and chronic pain, smoke marijuana. With a doctor's recommendation, they can be listed on a state registry of people allowed to use the drug for medical reasons. They may grow it themselves or acquire it some other, carefully unspecified, way.
Selling marijuana remains illegal under Colorado law.
Federal law prohibits all possession of marijuana, in any amount, period.
"Under federal law, marijuana is a Schedule One controlled substance," Reuter said. "It has a high potential for addiction, and no known or approved medical uses."
Colorado voters approved the medical use of marijuana in 2000 in an amendment to the state Constitution.
The law specifies that, if law enforcement officials seize marijuana or related equipment from someone who has a Colorado state certificate to use it, the drug and equipment must be preserved and returned.
The federal government says its law trumps Colorado state law.
Also on Schedule One, along with marijuana, are LSD and heroin. Possession of those drugs potentially carry the stiffest criminal penalties. Cocaine is only a Schedule Two substance because it has legitimate medical uses, Reuter said.
Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the Colorado U.S. attorney's office, said staff will review the county judge's order for the return of the marijuana
"We will then consult with DEA to determine the next steps in this matter," Dorschner said.
Federal criminal charges against Nord are unlikely, however. Colorado U.S. Attorney John Suthers has said in the past that his office focuses on large drug trafficking rings, not individual users of small amounts.
DEA officials have said Nord's three marijuana plants probably are dead, since agents uprooted them when they were seized.
Meanwhile, Nord is glad for his county court victory, at least.
"He's very relieved," Hammond said. "He's looking forward to the return of his property and his medicine."
