Court Rules It Is Legal To Smoke Pot Seeds

 

 

State Law Says Nothing Of Possessing Seeds

 

 

Portland, Ore. -- The Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that

smoking marijuana seeds is legal under state law.

 

The case stems from the 2002 arrest of 27-year-old Pendleton resident Cameron Beers.

 

He was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.

 

In his defense, Beers' lawyers argued that he should never have been convicted because he only had marijuana seeds on him.

State law only prohibits possession of leaves, stems and flowers.

 

The Court of Appeals considered whether legislators might have omitted seeds inadvertently.

 

But the court rejected that idea after noting that lawmakers had included seeds elsewhere in state law.
