Sechelt, B.C. -- A Provincial Court judge has ordered police to return 315 grams of top-quality marijuana they seized from one of the first Canadians granted a medical exemption to smoke pot for medicinal purposes.

Judge Dan Moon ordered that the marijuana be returned to Jim Wakeford, 57, within 30 days.The order was made Tuesday after Mr. Wakeford applied to the court to have his marijuana, grow light, computer and paper files returned to him.

Police seized those items, along with an additional 1,000 grams of marijuana and 28 marijuana plants, during a raid that took place at Mr. Wakeford's home on Nov. 9. Mr. Wakeford, a long-time social activist who was diagnosed with AIDS 10 years ago, was one of the first two people granted a medical exemption to Canada's drug laws in 1999.
