POT BUST PROMPTS QUESTIONS
A medical marijuana user, with approval from Health Canada, is
questioning why police have shut down the Abbotsford location he used
to grow cannabis.
Brian Carlisle, who was the victim of a home invasion in Chilliwack in
September, had been growing his pot at marijuana advocate Tim Felger's
Bradner Road property in Abbotsford since the fall.
On Thursday morning, Abbotsford Police converged on the well-known
property and arrested two men, including Mr. Felger. Police said 2090
plants were at the property.
"Apparently, there was more than what my licence was for," said Mr.
Carlisle, adding he's heard other medical marijuana users were growing
at Felger's property. Mr. Felger was in custody yesterday (Friday) and
could not be reached for comment.
What irks Mr. Carlisle is that he said he registered the location
where he was growing pot with both Health Canada and police.
