"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison, Fourth U.S. president, known as the Father of the Constitution.
Billings Police Chief Rich St. John said FedEx and UPS call police when employees discover packages that appear to contain medical marijuana -- which has been legal in Montana since voters approved it in 2004.
FedEx won't take the risk of being prosecuted under federal drug laws for accepting any such shipments, even within Montana, according to spokeswoman Sally Davenport.
Chief St. John said when that happens, police pick up the package and "determine if it's legal," then notify then person who sent it, or deliver the package themselves.
