Officers can be heard sharing that they received calls about smells of marijuana coming from Sousley's room at Citizens Memorial Healthcare on Wednesday night.
As the officers continue searching for cannabis, the cancer patient admits that he did consume 'a couple puffs of a cigar — Swisher Sweets' in the parking lot and had some THC oil pills on him. He adds that he doesn't rely on 'a ground-up plant.'
'It's the only choice I got to live, man,' Sousley explains to the officers. 'We're Americans. I was born here, it's my right to live.'
A physician even comes into the room and ask if officers have a right to search through the man's things.

But the police declare that they have a right to search as they are on private property.
'If we find marijuana, we'll give you a citation,' the officers tell the man. 'We're not taking you down to the county jail. But, we haven't found marijuana, so we're not citing.'
'It has my final day things in there and nobody's going to dig in it,' he said at one point. 'It's my stuff, it's my final hour stuff is in that bag. It's my right to have my final — I'm not digging it down here in front of everybody.'
The man tries to cite the passing of Amendment 2 in November, which allowed for state-licensed physicians to recommend marijuana for medical purposes to patients.
But police quickly retort that medical marijuana isn't legal yet. Medical marijuana won't be available to purchase in Missouri until January 2020, according to the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services.
Sousley explains that he has his final days belongings in the bags and asserts that the officers can't look through the items.

The man eventually let one of the officers search through his things and they don't find any cannabis.
Sousley explained to the Bolivar Herald-Free Press that he was 'highly medicated at the time it all happened.'
'I hadn't slept for days,' he said. 'As a terminal patient, you always ask, "Is this the time I'll fall asleep and not wake up?" It makes it hard to sleep.'

The CMH released a statement on Thursday stating that it would not comment on any specific patient. They did highlight, however, that both smoking and vaping are prohibited on the campus.

'It is also our policy to call appropriate law enforcement any time hospital personnel see or reasonably suspect illegal drug use in patient rooms or otherwise on campus,' the hospital said.
According to Bolivar Police Chief Mark Webb, the department suspended their Facebook account after they were blasted with negative sentiments for the incident.
'We were inundated by negative feedback,' he said.
Sousley is a huge supporter of cannabis use and asserted that he was set 'to make a change.'
'I’m sick of our country, the way it is right now,' Sousley explained. 'I don’t support the rules they have written. I use cannabis to save my life. I have the right to try anything. How can they say I can’t? I have the right to live.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
