Greg Boyle of Rothesay was sentenced Wednesday 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 to deal with convicts in jail who have permission for medicinal pot. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
