VICTORIA - Philippe Lucas called the police after he discovered a
break-in at the storefront office of his non-profit society. An
officer surveyed a hole in the wall, opened his notepad and asked
what was missing.
"About 23 pot cookies and about maybe $1,200 worth of cannabis," Mr.
Lucas said.
The officer looked around, Mr. Lucas recalled, before asking, "What
exactly is it that you guys do here?"
The storefront was home to the Vancouver Island Compassion Society,
a pot pharmacy that sells marijuana to clients who have referrals
from their doctors.
Police caught the thief within days. Mr. Lucas identified the
marijuana as belonging to his group.
He wound up in handcuffs, facing trafficking charges with a maximum
penalty of five years less a day. Afterward, he felt like a dope.
"It may have been naive in hindsight to go in and identify the
cannabis," Mr. Lucas said recently. "But I really thought of it as
the society's medicine."
