(2) Any property interest possessed, owned or used in connection with the medical use of marijuana or acts incidental to the medical use of marijuana that has been seized by state or local law enforcement officers may not be harmed, neglected, injured or destroyed while in the possession of a law enforcement agency, except that a law enforcement agency has no responsibility to maintain live marijuana plants lawfully seized. Such property interest may not be forfeited under any provision of law providing for the forfeiture of property, except pursuant to a sentence imposed after conviction of a criminal offense. Marijuana and equipment or paraphernalia used to produce, process or administer marijuana that was seized by a law enforcement officer shall be returned immediately if the district attorney in whose county the property was seized, or the district attorney’s designee, determines that the person from whom the marijuana, equipment or paraphernalia was seized is entitled to the protections provided by ORS 475B.785 to 475B.949. The determination may be evidenced by a decision not to prosecute, the dismissal of charges or acquittal. [Formerly 475B.490]
