Judge Says No To Return of Marijuana Seized From Compassion Club
The smell of marijuana was strong in Courtroom 2D at the Kamloops Law Courts this morning (Jan. 5) as the owner of a North Shore compassion club raided by police in November pleaded with a judge to get his seized “medicine” back.
Carl Anderson applied for the return of more than 900 grams of his own personal marijuana, as well as pot he was holding for clients of the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society.
He also asked for the return of a computer, a high-tech digital scale and vapourizers — all of which were seized by police during the execution of a search warrant on Nov. 1.
Anderson has yet to be charged in relation to the raid, but police have said he could face counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and obstructing a peace officer.
In court today, Anderson’s appeal was denied by Kamloops provincial court Judge Hermann Rohrmoser — but not before the compassion-club owner was allowed to call two clients of his to offer evidence about why they need their marijuana.
Medical-marijuana user John Roubros said he’s had AIDS for more than two decades and needs pot to keep his weight up.
He said he trusts the cannabis he receives from Anderson more than he would from a street dealer.
“I know it’s clean and I know it’s safe because I don’t have an immune system anymore,” he said.
“I don’t have much longer to live.”
Wesley Jenkins also testified, saying his health has “gone downhill” since the raid.
“I haven’t been able to get my designated supply,” he said.
