Some medical permit growers selling off their extra pot: RCMP

VANCOUVER — An RCMP review of medical marijuana licences found 70 cases across the country of holders violating the terms of their licence agreements.

The 2009 report said that in 40 of the cases, those with permits for medical pot production were trafficking excess marijuana to make a profit, RCMP Cpl. Dan Weatherby said Thursday.

Weatherby said he couldn't release a copy of the criminal intelligence brief on medical marijuana because it is classified.

But he quoted statistics from the national study, which raised a series of police concerns about medical marijuana licences.
