POT ADVOCATE'S CHARGES PUT OVER FOR A WEEK

Medicinal marijuana advocate Grant Krieger is scheduled to appear in
provincial court next week on two trafficking charges.

The Calgary man appeared in court briefly Wednesday and had the matter
put over until next Wednesday.

Krieger was charged after police intercepted two packages containing
marijuana that were sent via courier from Calgary to the Grant Krieger
Foundation in Selkirk, northeast of Winnipeg.

The packages were allegedly sent in December 2003 and January
2004.

Krieger previously estimated one of them contained about $3,000 worth
of marijuana.

Krieger, 49, has multiple sclerosis and uses cannabis to manage his
pain.
