(WestWord) Today should turn out to be a very good St. Paddy’s Day for Colin Olmstead, since he’ll be getting a whole lot of green from the Arapahoe County DA’s office — and by green, we mean two pounds of pot.
Olmstead had the marijuana confiscated in Arapahoe County over a year ago during a routine traffic stop. His lawyer, Rob Corry, says he was in the process of delivering the pot to a dispensary called Cherry Creek Health, but didn’t say anything about that to the officers at the time out of respect for his patients’ confidentiality.
Soon after, however, Corry says Olmstead told the authorities the contraband was medical marijuana and produced paperwork showing enough patients who had previously designated him their caregiver to justify the amount of weed he had in his car. While it apparently took them a while to make a decision, it was enough for the DA’s office to drop the case and return the cannabis.
Whenever police are forced to give marijuana to people, another little crack forms in that wall of prohibition.
