Police rescind drug charge against terminally ill Kansas cancer patient
Police raided hospital room after staff called them about patient’s marijuana vape pen use to alleviate disease symptoms
After news of the case sparked public backlash, police in Kansas moved to rescind a ticket which officers gave to a terminally ill cancer patient of drug possession after they found him with cannabis paste he was using to ease his pain during the last few weeks he is expected to live.
Greg Bretz, a 69-year-old cancer patient in Hays, Kansas, had been using THC paste in his vape pen as well as on his bread to cope with his symptoms since being hospitalized about three weeks ago.
