“The Des Moines Register highlights an Iowa forfeiture case, the subject of a federal lawsuit filed this week, in which state troopers took $100,000 in winnings from two California poker players traveling through the state on their way back from a World Series of Poker event in Joliet, Illinois. ‘Both of their California homes were searched the next day by law enforcement based on a tip from an Iowa agent,’ the Register notes. Although both men have state-issued cards identifying them as patients allowed to use cannabis for symptom relief, the paper says, they still faced ‘felony drug charges’ because of the marijuana found in their homes.”
