Medical marijuana user arrested in OR

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A medical marijuana patient and seller from Spokane has been arrested for suspicion of possessing the drug in Oregon.

Scott Shupe was arrested in Oregon last week while returning to Spokane after purchasing four pounds of marijuana to sell at his dispensary.

Shupe?s status as a medical marijuana patient in Washington didn?t matter. Oregon doesn?t recognize medical marijuana permits from other states.

Shupe is back in Spokane after posting $7,500 bond, and is hopeful he?ll eventually get his marijuana back. But Wasco County (Ore.) District Attorney Eric Nisley said the law isn?t in his favor.
