Acting on an anonymous tip, Pennsylvania police pulled over Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes driving a black Range Rover Oct. 23 with Florida license plates. Although it was not the vehicle police were seeking, they allegedly smelled cannabis as they approached it. Holmes admitted to having a small amount of marijuana, pointing out three blunts to officers. He was issued a summons for possession of marijuana. An Allegheny County DA told the judge she agreed with the defense that police didn’t have sufficient cause to pull Holmes over, given that police were unable to identify who called in the tip, and dismissed the charge.
San Francisco Giants All-Star starter pitcher Tim Lincecum, 2008 Cy Young Award winner and local-hero U of Washington baseball star, was pulled over for speeding Oct. 30 and cited for possession in Washington, his home state. A State Patrol officer stopped the 25-year-old Lincecum for driving 74 in a 60 MPH zone on Interstate 5 some four miles north of the Oregon border, when he allegedly smelled the odor of cannabis. Lincecum immediately complied with a request to hand over his 3.3-gram stash and a pipe from the car’s center console. Possession of up to 40 grams for personal use is a minor misdemeanor in WA, but Lincecum pled down to an infraction: possession of the pipe.

In a decisive victory for equality, a high-profile Colorado ski tourist destination voted to legalize adult possession of cannabis. Breckenridge voters on Nov. 3 passed Measure 2F by a 73 percent vote to remove from the Town Code criminal penalties for private possession of up to one ounce by adults 21 and older.
In a cutting-edge move, the ordinance also removes criminal penalties for the possession of drug paraphernalia. This is the first ordinance change in Colorado — and likely national — history to remove penalties for both cannabis and associated paraphernalia.
“This vote demonstrates that our Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol, said Sean McAllister, Breckenridge attorney and chair of Sensible Breckenridge.
“As state and national focus grows on this important issue, the popular ski town of Breckenridge has taken center
