MEDICAL POT PLANT STOLEN

A Klamath Falls resident licensed to possess marijuana plants for
medicinal purposes reported the theft of a plant from his home on
Bisbee Street early Thursday morning.

The victim told the Klamath County Sheriff's Department he entered his
greenhouse about 3 a.m. Thursday, and scared a burglar away.

The burglar got away with one plant which the resident said was worth
about $40.

Thefts of medical marijuana are common, according to Lt. Rod Dailey of
the Klamath County Sheriff's Department.

In Oregon, a person may possess three mature marijuana plants and four
immature plants, Dailey said.

However, a medical doctor must prescribe marijuana for an illness and
the patient must obtain a medical marijuana card from the state.
