Handing out marijuana, free or not, is a crime. It is a federal crime. It's called distribution of a controlled substance. It is outrageous that Santa Cruz thinks it is above the law. News flash - you aren't. Too bad the DEA wasn't there to arrest and charge you all. STEPHANIE CRISWELL ROYAL OAKS - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
