STEAMBOAT SPRINGS - Despite federal law barring the medical use of
marijuana, a county judge ordered authorities to return 2 ounces of the
drug to a man who says he needs it to help ease the symptoms of cancer.

"This may be a precedent-setting case a whole lot further down the road,"
Routt County Judge James Garrecht said Monday after issuing his decision.

Several ounces of marijuana, three marijuana plants and growing equipment
were seized in October during a search of 57-year-old Don Nord's home by
members of a federal drug task force. Nord is listed with the state's
Medical Marijuana Registry program.
