SAN LUIS OBISPO  - Police must return 8.2 grams of marijuana confiscated 
from a medical marijuana patient because he has a valid prescription, a

smoking pot in public. After he was searched, police found marijuana and 
arrested him for misdemeanor possession.

No Runner has a prescription for the marijuana to treat symptoms of his 
bipolar disorder. The District Attorney's Office dismissed the charges on 
Oct. 1.
