A man is facing the option of spending his remaining days on earth, on the streets. His housing complex wants to evict him because of the drugs he uses for his terminal illness. He calls medicinal marijuana a necessity, but because of his prescription his housing complex says he is no longer welcome.
"I like it. I stay to myself and just trying to do the last of my life as stress free as I can with this terminal cancer that I got," he says.
Dealing with liver cancer, Morgan was one of the first people to get a medical marijuana card on advice from his doctor.
"He knew that was the only thing that was helping me," recalls Morgan.
Since then he has grown marijuana plants and smokes about 3 times a day.
"If I take my pills and don't take this, they come right up. The pills make me sick to my stomach," says Morgan.
Recently though, he got a letter from his housing manager saying he's kicked out of his home for "drug-related criminal activity," referring to his use of marijuana.
