POT LAW MAKES NO SENSE: DISCUSS

A judge has an unusual sentence for a 25-year-old Sacramento man who
sold marijuana to a police informant in a casino parking lot at Lake
Tahoe.

District Judge Dave Gamble ordered Matthew Palazzolo to write a report
on what the judge called the "nonsensical character" of California's
medical marijuana law the Gardnerville Record-Courier reported.

Gamble gave Palazzolo 90 days to complete the paper discussing his
realization that marijuana led him to use more powerful narcotics.
