MARIJUANA BOOSTER JAILED IN LINN COUNTY

ALBANY - Marijuana activist Bill Conde has been jailed for failing to
do community service as required under terms of a probationary
sentence he received in May for aiding in the sale of illegal drugs
and hindering prosecution.

Linn County Jail records show Conde, 58, was sentenced to 10 days. He
previously served two weeks in jail as part of his sentence on the
same charges.

The convictions stemmed from open drug sales at the 1999 World Hemp
Festival, an annual event he holds at his property east of Harrisburg,
District Attorney George Eder said.
