Greg Boyle of Rothesay was sentenced yesterday to 15 months of house arrest and 12 months of probation. Since the charges were laid two years ago, Boyle won permission from Health Canada to use pot to ease the pain of a back injury. He can grow up to 25 marijuana plants in his home. The province does not have a policy in place to deal with convicts in jail who have permission for medicinal marijuana. The house arrest includes numerous conditions including 100 hours of community service. Boyle must also allow police to occasionally enter his home to ensure he only has enough marijuana for personal use. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
