LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE PLEADS INNOCENT TO POT CHARGES

AUBURN, March 21 (UPI) - The former Libertarian Party candidate for
California governor and his wife face a May 18 trial date after
pleading innocent to drug  charges in Auburn. Steve Kubby, 52, and his
wife, Michele, 32, entered the  pleas Friday at their arraignment in
Placer County Superior Court to charges of cultivating marijuana for
sale, two counts of conspiracy to commit a crime, two counts of
possession of a controlled substance, and possession of an 
ingestation device.

More than 250 marijuana plants were seized at the couple's  Olympic
Valley home during a Jan. 19 raid. They said they were growing the 
plants for their own medical use.
