Police laid the charges after two packages containing marijuana 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, and Krieger estimated one of them contained about $3,000 worth of marijuana. Krieger, 49, has multiple sclerosis and uses cannabis butter to manage his pain. Krieger said people like him who provide a safe, reliable supply are still subject to prosecution. He is to appear in court July 21. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
