"The (Supreme) court ruled there was no evidence that marijuana was
medically beneficial. The ruling provided a clear indication to Placer
County Jail authorities that Kubby couldn't be given marijuana or its
synthetic derivative while serving his sentence."
Medical marijuana advocate and former Libertarian Party gubernatorial
candidate Steve Kubby remains free after failing to show up Friday at North
Auburn's Placer County Jail to begin serving a 120-day sentence.
Now a resident of Canada's Sechelt, British Columbia, Kubby said Saturday
that "nothing has been settled in court" and he's now being threatened by
law enforcement with either "becoming a fugitive or being murdered in their
jail."
Kubby won acquittal earlier this year on charges that he grew 265 pot
plants at his Olympic Valley home for personal profit but was convicted on
two other drug charges.
Kubby was told by jail officials in April that he wouldn't be able to smoke
cannabis while serving time on the two drug charges he was convicted of.
Kubby produced expert witnesses during a lengthy pot-possession-for-sale
trial last fall to back his contention that heavy marijuana smoking keeps a
rare form of cancer he suffers from at bay.
With Kubby absent, Assistant Public Defender asked Placer County Superior
Court Judge John Cosgrove for a further extension of Kubby's surrender date
