ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State Police seized 10 pounds of marijuana and more than 1,000 tablets of the hallucinogenic drug "2C-B" during a traffic stop on Interstate 5 near Ashland on Monday.

According to Sgt. Jim Johnson, a senior trooper stopped a Honda Accord because of an unlawful lane change. With help from a drug-detecting canine, the trooper discovered the drugs in the car's truck.

Taken into custody on drug charges were 34-year-old Peter Kriesberg of Santa Cruz, Calif.; 28-year-old Dustin White of Seattle and 25-year-old Amy Villastringham, also of Seattle.

Kriesberg and White have been lodged in the Jackson County jail while Villastringham was cited to appear in circuit court.
