Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
TalkLeft has a great piece on another casualty of the drug war: a cancer victim.
Cancer patient Steve Kubby, a transplanted Calfornian and medpot practitioner is begging Canada for asylum, claiming U.S. drug warriors are out of control.
Kubby and three fellow Californian medical marijuana activists with "arrest warrants outstanding, prosecutions pending, jail terms unfulfilled" in the U.S., and threatened with deportation or extradition, have filed suit in Canada seeking asylum as political refugees. A hearing will be held in March to determine whether they can stay in Canada or must be returned to the U.S.
