Ok so, they take his weed convict him of a felony and give it back? Wtf? Is this the clashing of the state and federal gov?

no, by the way. this was strictly a state case.
a little more on what happened, when we went to pick up his stuff, we showed them(at the police station) the court order that said he was entitled to his belongings. they played hardball, said that they needed a faxed
official court order from the courthouse. we went to the courthouse and the clerk said the paper my friend had in his hands was the official cort order, signed by the judge and all.
return to cops and now they are MUCH more willing to comply with us. 45 minutes of waiting later they come out and say that the da is not willing to consent to the court order, they say that they will allow everything BUT the marijuana and the plants. because the schedule of my friends lawyer was so busy, he was unable to attend this property transfer and had been in court on the other side of the state all morning. when he got word of what was happening, he was fumed and awhile later the cops come out with a revised order saying that my friend can get some of the marijuana back, but they(the cops) had ABSOLUTELY no idea how much my friend was entitled to legally have under state law. we explained the law to them, they said it doesnt matter what we tell them, we had to give them printed proof of the law in order to release his medicine. (how often do you hear law enforcement tell you 'ignorance is no excuse'......)
we told them that we could show them in under 2 minutes if they would let us show them on a computer with internet access, that was met with some bull**** excuse. we told them the number to call and who to ask at the state health department, that was met with some bull**** excuse. so we went home, got high, called the lady at the state health department and had her fax the documents to the cops. went back and now they were very, very eager to complete the transfer and get it over with. but of course, that went about as well as one would expect it would....cops with pot, and every little thing with thc(vaporized remains of pot) choosing what to give back to the patient. the law states that a patient can have 2 ounces of dried marijuana, so they gave hi'm one ounce of good usable medicine, and one ounce of the spent vapeash.
my friend was very busy that day(he was planning on surrendering himself to start the sentence later that day) so he didnt want to sit around and argue with them about how worthless the vapeash was, so he just smiled and left.
i got all of this on video, by the way
(':
just gotta try to make it back home today, lots of snow got dumped on the mountains the night i came out here, there was a pretty massive type accident on the freeway going back, so i was stuck here one night, hopefully things will be smooth driving for me on the way back. no worries tho, it aint an adventure if youre not truely scared for your life at least once along the journey
cops ordered to give marijuana back to patient **updated with vid**
