Vancouver, British Columbia – Convicted pot dealer Michael Patriquen wants his marijuana cookies – in jail.

His lawyer is seeking a court order that would require prison officials to supply medical marijuana. Patriquen is serving a six-year sentence at a minimum-security prison in Canada.

He says he needs the weed to control back pain from an auto accident. If the government won’t provide the pot, Patriquen contends he should get out of the joint.
