A canadian man is using medical MJ to control his MS sx, and has a license from the federal government which supplies him with the drugs. He is bed bound when not in his chair at the nursing home. The management of the home decided that he is breaking the law by smoking MJ and its a bunch of baloney. Its not a treatment for MS, its a way to get high. They TOOK his wheel chair and are forcing him to be IN bed 24 hours a day so he will learn his lesson. OMG!

OMG is right. that man needs to call for a lawyer before they take away his phone!

I'm not sure the nursing home realizes the liability they've put themself under by doing this. I'd say that once a lawyer sees this and represents this man he'll get his MJ back and a whole lot more, too.

That video is from 2009. I wonder how it turned out.

*cue dramatic music while I do some Google Fu*

I googled, and found an update.

Someone contacted him and found him a temporary wheelchair and also helped him go outside so that he could self medicate with his MJ. (good for them!) The care center gave him back his chair after 7 days.

I havent been able to find any more updates about this place or about the guy who had his chair stolen by the care center. (remind me never to check into any care centers in Canada if my MS ever gets that bad)

Good Lord, that is atrocious(sp).

She ought to lose her license to operate a care facility.

Can you believe the home gave his sisters number as the person to complain to?? OMG! it was THEM who removed his chair, not the sister! Way to pass the buck. The update article said he would be given better care, but I love how they actually made him wait 7 days to get his chair back.

In situations like this there is usually a lot more going on in the background that we don't know about. While I can't believe the stupidity of what they did to this guy, I would sure like to know the entire story which I'm afraid we'll never get to know.
