HEMP ADVOCATE TO BIKE ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA

HERMOSA - A Hermosa man will bicycle across South Dakota to draw
attention to what he says is the need for the legalization of medical
marijuana.

Bob Newland, 56, Hemphasis magazine publisher, plans to launch his
two-week journey to Sioux Falls on June 5. He will log about 500 miles
in the interim before returning to Rapid City.

While cycling across South Dakota, Newland plans to circulate a
petition for Safe Access Act of 2006, which would allow physicians to
prescribe cannabis as part of a course of therapy and allow patients
to possess and use cannabis to alleviate certain medical conditions.
Newland invites others to join the tour.
