Default City Won't Pay For Dead Marijuana Plants
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- The city of Fort Collins has refused to pay a couple's claim for more than $200,000 for letting their marijuana plants die after they were seized in a medical-marijuana case.

Police confiscated 39 plants from Jim and Lisa Masters in August 2006, but they were returned after a judge ruled the couple qualified as medical-marijuana growers, even though they had not completed the required paper work.

The Masterses said their plants were dead, dry, and in some cases moldy when they got them back in December 2007, so they filed a claim with the city.

Police said they weren't required to keep them alive because the couple didn't have permits.

The couple's attorney, Brian Vicente, said Thursday they will probably file a civil suit in state court in hopes of forcing the city to pay.

A voter-approved amendment to the state constitution legalized marijuana for medical use.

Using marijuana for medical purposes remains illegal under federal law.

I think in the civl suit they should ask for higher damages. I mean this has dragged on for close to 2 years now. I'm thinking about their emotional damage and their pain and suffering.

I wonder if they can sue the cops personally along with the city?

Well in all fairness the cops can't be expected to take care of the plants. And the couple DID NOT have a permit so I don't blame the cops in this rare case.
