FELONY WAS UNFAIR; KUBBY HAS NO TERRORIST CONNECTION

In response to the letter, "Court was right to make drug charge a felony" 
Journal, July 3: Is persecuting Steve Kubby a ploy to distract the public 
from another government failure? Please don't persecute cancer patients out 
of frustration, that's un-American. Steve Kubby's marijuana use mitigates 
the deadly effects of a rare form of adrenal cancer. Despite his illness 
and the added stress of countless court appearances, he has survived will 
beyond what his doctors predicted. Now a simple possession charge has been 
changed to a felony two years after his trial ended. The U.S. has made his 
claim of political persecution well-founded. To make matters worse, someone 
has sunk so low as to suggest support for Saddam Hussein and his cohorts. 
Nothing could be further from the truth, since Steve Kubby gets his 
marijuana from his legal home garden with permission from Canadian authorities.
