Canada expelling Placer County medical marijuana
activistAssociated PressAUBURN, Calif.
An internationally known medical marijuana activist has been ordered to leave Canada, where he sought refuge after he was convicted in Placer County of possessing peyote button and magic mushroom in 2000.
Steve Kubby helped write and pass California's Proposition 215 medical marijuana law approved by voters in 1996, was the Libertarian candidate for governor in 1998, and served as national director of the American Medical Marijuana Association.
Kubb said he will suffer and may die of a rare form of adrenal cancer if he returns to Placer County and isn't allowed to smoke marijuana daily while serving a 120-day jail sentence. He may face more jail time for fleeing the country.
The conviction came after Placer County deputies said they found small amounts of mescaline and psilocybin, along with 265 marijuana plants, while raiding Kubby's Olympic Valley home in 1999.
Canadian Border Services last month ordered Kubby and his family to leave the country by Jan. 12. He goes back to a Canadian court Monday to seek a delay.
"I must confess that I really fear for my husband's life," Michelle Kubby told the Auburn Journal by telephone. "He must have cannabis constantly to survive the deadly threat posed by his adrenaline-secreting tumors."
Placer County Deputy District Attorney Chris Cattran said Kubby would be detained at the U.S. border and returned to the county.
"I'll probably be talking to you through a cell in Placer County jail if I'm able to speak," Steve Kubby told the paper. "We're not very encouraged by the outcome."

Ferre, this is very bad news I wish Mr. Kubby will come to Holland and not go
to Jail.

He should be allowed to medicate under SB.420 but we all know they just want him to suffer. I think he has until the 13th for a hearing right?

Time Running Out for Medical Pot 'Refugee' By Shannon Kari
Source: Globe and Mail January 09, 2006 Vancouver
Medical marijuana "refugee" Steve Kubby, his wife, Michele, and their two daughters are scheduled to be deported to the United States this week unless they can delay a removal order at a Federal Court of Canada hearing this morning. The family is asking for an emergency stay of the order by Immigration Canada, arguing that Mr. Kubby's health will suffer if he is deported and has to serve a 120-day jail sentence in California without marijuana to deal with his adrenal cancer.

Emergancy situation! by herbdoc215 January 09, 2006
I am really worried about Kubby As with my case the gov't is refusing to rule until last minute so nothing can be done to stop it...
we must all get ready to try and push Placer County to try to save Kubby's life. I fear that Steve may not survive this process, especially since his case will be state to state and not federal like mine which mean he will get to play diesel therapy for next 6 weeks whilst red-neck sheriffs (like the ones who tried to trick me into signing releases so they could hold me three times to torture me more) transfer him from jail to jail and state to state with a hearing at each stop and ZERO medical care in between...
21st century witch test! This isn't right, looking back upon my suffering it all just seems so needless...
they really are willing to kill us over a plant that we have to have to survive! I'm begging everybody who ever thought they owed me anything to try and do all they can to get this man and his poor family some peace, please!
Call, write, beg, cry, plead, bribe, trade, sell or whatever you have to do to bring this bs to an end for them. Cancer isn't anything to play with and this man really is sick, and if there is any decency left in this world then Canadians will see all we EVER wanted was a little peace...
instead we have been lied about and vilified by almost every Canadian official we have come across. What is it going to take for them to wake up to the reality of this desperate attempt by us to try and live a normal as possible life with what little we have left. What is it about medical cannabis that makes us disposable, because they wouldn't let a dog be treated the way I was and Kubby is fixing to be treated! Kubby's blood will be on every Canadians hands, and the Sin of indifference will rest upon every American's soul!
Peace, Steve Tuck

Who Has NOT Broken The Law, But He Faces the Death Penalty.
December 30, 2005 Analysis by Richard Cowan
People in the US and around the world are properly disturbed by allegations that the American government has violated the civil liberties of various persons accused of terrorist activities. The concern generally is not so much about the rights of the accused, who are not particularly sympathetic, but for the potential abuses of power that endanger everyone. There has been great concern regarding “domestic spying” by the government.

Over just three days in jail, Kubby suffered a series of classic hypertensive crises. He could have had a crippling stroke, or died from cardiac arrest. And the police knew all about his condition.
