RCMP seize medical pot users' plants

We must have far too many police officers in this fine country of ours. The RCMP have once again proven their uselessness by raiding the house of a medical patient that did not have the proper paperwork in place.

An Evansburg man who takes pot for his pain fears he's about to get sicker after police seized his weed yesterday.

Steve Chorney, 39, has been on painkillers for years, but over time they've started to damage his liver.

As an alternative, he started smoking pot under Health Canada's medical-marijuana program, but yesterday's police raid at his farm means he'll have to go back on his other pain medication.

"If I don't get off these pills, I'm going to die," he said.

I feel safer knowing this guy doesn't have his medicine. Go RCMP!
