Mich. medical marijuana card holder commits suicide after police ‘witch hunt’ over pot ‘butter’
From the article:
A former corrections officer took his own life over the weekend after being found guilty in a case involving marijuana-infused butter, his attorney said.
Bernhardt and three other Kent County Sheriff’s Department corrections officers were charged earlier this year with making marijuana butter. Although three of the men had medical marijuana cards, Michigan law does not protect patients who use edibles.
Bernhardt, who spent 22 years in law enforcement, had pleaded guilty to reduced charges of maintaining a drug house, which carried up to two years in prison.
Defense attorneys had argued that the men were doing the best they could to follow the state’s poorly-written medical marijuana law.
