MARIJUANA ACTIVIST LEAVES JAIL
SACRAMENTO -- Steve Kubby, a California medical marijuana pioneer who
was forced to return from Canada earlier this year and was thrown into
jail, earned his freedom Monday after serving a third of the
four-month sentence his doctor predicted might kill him.
Placer County jail officials said Kubby's release after 40 days behind
bars came because of his good behavior in custody and their need to
reduce crowding under a federal court order.
Kubby has spent the last six years vociferously fighting Placer County
authorities over his conviction for possession of a peyote button and
a psychedelic mushroom. But his early release underscored a sudden
shift in his once bitter attitude toward law enforcement
authorities.
