JOINTS COST $500

A medical-marijuana activist was fined $500 yesterday for lighting five 
joints at a pro-pot rally at the University of Victoria in November 2000.

Leon Edward "Ted" Smith, 35, who runs a marijuana buyers club out of a 
downtown Victoria bookstore, was found guilty of marijuana trafficking. The 
judge rejected Smith's arguments that he had a constitutional right to 
smoke dope.
