LET KUBBY LIVE, WHETHER IN CALIFORNIA OR CANADA

Steve Kubby is the man that Proposition 215 was written for. His
medical condition, Journal, Jan. 13, dictates that he use cannabis -
copious quantities of cannabis. Probably even more than I would care
to ingest.

Placer County, being one of the zero-tolerance holdout counties in the
state, has purposefully persecuted Mr. Kubby. His voluntary exile to
Canada has kept him alive. But now by way of duplicity from the
district attorney and the superior court bench, his life is in jeopardy.

If Steve is extradited into the gleefully malevolent hands of the U.S.
drug war's prison industrial complex, his constitution just may not be
sufficient to bear. Placer County should let Steve Kubby live - if not
in his beloved California, at least in his adopted British Columbia.
