image for Kansas man arrested after growing cannabis to control seizures

FREDONIA, Kan. (KSNW) – There are questions about a marijuana bust in southeast Kansas after a man is facing several felony charges related to his use of cannabis oil.

Larry Burgess says he knows it’s illegal to use marijuana or any of its byproducts in Kansas, but says it’s the only thing that keeps him from debilitating seizures.

“They seized my cannabis medication and other items I had here for the cannabis use,” said Burgess.

He extracted the oil from the plant and put it into capsules to treat his non-epileptic seizures.

He said without it, his seizures quickly returned as they did when he was taken into custody.

Burgess and his wife, Shannon, know the drug is illegal in Kansas, and they knew they were taking a risk.

“Instead of trying to deal with unsavory characters or actual criminals, I decided to start making it myself,” Burgess said. »
