HIS JOINT'S GONE TO POT
SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- A New Brunswick man will be able to smoke marijuana
while he serves a sentence for marijuana cultivation and trafficking.
Greg Boyle of Rothesay was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months of house arrest
and 12 months of probation.
Since the charges were laid two years ago, Boyle won permission from Health
Canada to use pot to ease the pain of a back injury. He can grow up to 25
marijuana plants in his home.
The province does not have a policy to deal with convicts in jail who have
permission for medicinal pot.
