Montana Police Now Delivering Medical Marijuana
Sunday, July 11, 2010
Keci/Missoula
The Billings Police Department says it has become a pot delivery service for medical marijuana growers in Montana. Shipping companies refuse to handle the drug due to federal laws, that could leave them open to criminal prosecution. Billings Police Chief Rich St. John says FedEx and UPS call police when workers discover packages that appear to contain medical marijuana that's legal in Montana. FedEx spokeswoman Sally Davenport says the company won't take the risk of being prosecuted under federal law for accepting such shipments, even within Montana.
John says police must then pick up the package and determine if it's legal, then notify the person who sent it or deliver the package themselves. Police say they could be held liable if they don't return the pot to its rightful owner.
