Richard White Portland 503-793-1662 from The Oregonian; Wednesday, December 8, 1999 "Police told to return medical marijuana." The bureau says it would violate federal law if it released the drugs, and the City Council will decide today whether to appeal   "Judge Robert Redding's ruling in October was one the first tests of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, said Richard White, Kama's attorney.   "It does set a precedent in that it legitimizes the law in the eye of the court," White said.   During the proceedings, White argued that police were wrong in taking the drug from his client, who had medical reasons for using it. The judge ordered only a small amount of the drug to be returned.   Kama could not be reached for comment Tuesday, and White would not disclose his client's medical conditions."   Visit: www.marijuana.org/Oregonian12-8-99.htm for more details. from Voter Power Weekly Newsletter, February 8, 2002, "Update: Portland City Attorney's Office to Appeal Kama Case". Richard White, the attorney for Kama who prevailed in the Court of Appeals ruling, subsequently told Voter Power "I feel that the Court of Appeals made a proper ruling. I don't think the [Oregon] Supreme Court should accept the city's petition to review the Court of Appeals decision.   If the Supreme Court does decide to hear this case, I think they should accept the reasoning of the Court of Appeals."   The case is 9906-34218; A109667, State of Oregon, Plaintiff, and City of Portland, Appellant, v. Samuel Kim Kama, Respondent.  A complete copy of the Court of Appeals ruling has been posted at the Voter Power Web site.  Visit: www.voterpower.org/news/020208news.html for more details.
