STUDENT'S KILO OF POT 'PERSONAL'

A Malaspina student found with a kilogram of marijuana in his car 
maintained the drugs were for personal use Wednesday.

Federal Crown David Lobay told Judge Eldon Iverson Oceanside RCMP pulled 
the man over while he was driving in Parksville Sept. 21, discovering the 
drugs in his car and charging him with possession.

Though surprised at the quantity of marijuana involved, Iverson did not 
question the accused's explanation. He sentenced the man to pay a $1,000 
fine by April 1, 2002.
