Canada: Regina man getting marijuana back

CBC Canada

Wednesday 01 Mar 2006

---
A Regina AIDS patient whose medicinal marijuana was seized by police is
getting his plants back.

Shapiro had permission from Health Canada to grow the drug, but his
permit had expired and wasn't renewed until shortly after police had
removed it.

Despite his medical condition and the fact the renewed permit was
granted within days, police charged him with growing the drug contrary
to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

In February, the federal justice department stayed the charges. He was
allowed to take his equipment back.

However, Regina police kept the plants.

On Wednesday, a provincial court judge ruled that the plants should be
returned to him.

Shapiro says the drug helps him deal with his AIDS symptoms, including
nausea.
