A Colorado man may be regretting what he brought to the ER with him.
According to KDVR, a 49 to 50 year old transient went to a Lakewood emergency room last Wednesday and with him, he brought in a trash bag that was filled with marijuana.

The transient entered a free standing emergency room at 260 S. Wadsworth Blvd. at around 6 p.m. that evening with the bag.

Lakewood police spokesman Steve Davis commented, “Because they were going to admit him, they were going through his possessions, they came up with this trash bag full of what they thought was marijuana.”

It turned out to be 1.8 pounds of low grade marijuana that could be worth about $1200 to as high as $2100.

“I think there’s a lot of misinformation, misconception people have, especially those out of state that marijuana is legal in Colorado period,” Davis said.

“Colorado law is specific. If more than 12 ounces of pot is in your possession, you are into the felony category now. Anywhere from 1 ounce to 12 ounces is a misdemeanor.”

According to the transient, the marijuana as found in a dumpster of a pot shop.
“It cannot go into the trash like that. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen, but it’s illegal for a shop to dispose in that manner,” explained Davis. The marijuana should be destroyed by pot shops instead.
