Kubby's denied refugee status in Canada
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 11:49 PM by Virgil
I could not express how big a story this could be as it reaches a conclusion. Steve Kubby was a Libertarian candidate for governor in California and ran/owned a successful magazine concerning snow skiig at one time. His roommate at one time was Cheech Marin in college which is something a fiction writer could not fit into his story.

This is a fact that you should put in your head because it is undisputable. He is wanted in California to serve a 120 day sentence for mushroom possession. If he is put in prison, he will die from adrenal cancer that is only controllable with cannabis. He had a mountain of paperwork detailing his condition that made him one of only a handful of hundreds of people that could get approval to grow marijuana in Canada.

He is going to appeal the decision. It is a big story in the making and is very worth following. Of course, when you understand the implications of his ordeal, it will raise the issue of why the media can still be called a free press when they blackout such a telling story of our government.

It is an ongoing story that you may want to follow. It would be very educational in seeing the reality of the WOD, or as I call it, The War of Insanity.

http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17937.shtml This would be the Globe and Mail version of the story.

Here is The Canadian Press report- http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17938.shtml

This is Reuters- http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17935.shtml

This is CBC- http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17934.shtml

1. I have sympathy and all but...
the claim that he would die in jail without access to marijuana is absurd. Read the article:

...while accepting that marijuana has undoubtedly relieved his long-standing cancer condition, Ms. Dauns found there was no evidence that Mr. Kubby would die if incarcerated.

There's no evidence for such a thing because marijuana doesn't "control" cancer, and no one claims that it does. It's only used by cancer patients to relieve pain and stimulate appeitite. He's not going to die without it, that's utter BS.

2. You are wrong, I don't do BS

I am just going to say you are wrong on your statement. If you had followed the story so far, you would know why I said that. Marijuana is the only thing keeping him alive. Follow the story and see and please read this- http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17719.shtml

And here is the article that Steve Kubby wrote himself concerning the research that explained why cannabis was keeping him alive- http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17748.shtml

He was arrested in Canada and imprisoned once. He lost a lot of weight and about died then. The fact that the Canadians did not want him to die in their jail is probably what got him out so fast.

Richard Cowan is a past director of NORML now living in Canada. He writes the commentary at http://www.marijuananews.com/ He is currently doing specials at pot-tv from vancouver, Canada on what he calls the Battle for Canada. This 6th installment will help bring you up to speed- http://www.pot-tv.net/archive/shows/pottvshowse-2342.html

Now didn't I tell you that if you follow the story it would be educational?
