STEVE KUBBY BEING ALLOWED TO GROW MEDICINAL MARIJUANA

Yes, letting Steve Kubby grow and smoke marijuana might open the door for 
more persecuted sick Americans to migrate to Canada to "get their pot," or 
more correctly, their medicine.

But I'd be proud to live in a country where the sick and dying were treated 
with dignity and given the compassion, respect and medicine they deserve.

I'd migrate to Canada and become a citizen if only to live among people 
that treat the weakest citizens as human beings rather than sub-human 
animals that should be exterminated. And I'm sorry to say that 
"extermination" is exactly what my American government wants to do with 
medical marijuana users.

Yes, there will be refugees from America coming to Canada. But they are not 
seeking a place to smoke marijuana, they can do that anywhere as long as it 
is discrete.

What they are looking for is relief and freedom. Lord knows they can't find 
it here -- not any more.
