Watch: Police officers reportedly search stage four pancreatic cancer patient's bags for marijuana in hospital
While at a Missouri hospital, a man with stage 4 pancreatic cancer was visited by multiple officers who reportedly searched his possessions for marijuana.
The officer said that the department had received a call from someone who said they smelled weed coming from Sousley’s room. Sousley said that was impossible since he never smokes or uses ground-up plants. He said he used capsules with THC oil instead. A doctor entered the room, and after filling her in on the situation, an officer said Sousley had a bag they hadn’t yet searched. Sousley argued that he'd already shown the officer the plastic bag containing the THC capsules, but the officer requested to search the entire bag. Sousley said the bag was filled with medications and would not allow the officers to “dig through that.”In the end, he allowed one officer to look through the bag, and the officers didn’t find any marijuana.
Missouri voters approved Amendment 2 in November, which permits state-licensed physicians to recommend marijuana for medical purposes to patients. Although the amendment passed, as of March 8 Missourians could not legally possess medical marijuana, and the Missouri Health & Senior Services Department said it wouldn’t be available for purchase until at least January 2020.
