INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis airport police plan to destroy medical marijuana seized from a breast cancer patient from California who was boarding a flight on Tuesday.
Transportation Security Administration screeners found the marijuana and a pipe in luggage after it passed through an X-ray machine at Indianapolis International Airport.
According to a police report, a 36-year-old woman from Van Nuys, Calif., told police she has breast cancer and showed them a medical card confirming that she was prescribed the marijuana.
Authorities told her that while it was legal to possess and smoke medical marijuana in California, it's illegal to do so in Indiana.
The woman was not charged, and police said they intend to destroy the marijuana.
