MEDICAL MARIJUANA CRUSADER WANTS TO REVISIT CANADA

Vancouver -- U.S. medical pot crusader Steve Kubby says he has fond
memories of Canada after spending years trying to claim refugee status
here. And Mr. Kubby said he'd like to return north of the border for a
visit now that a drug conviction he so fervently fought has been
expunged from his record. Mr. Kubby served 40 days in a California
prison in 2006 out of a 120-day jail sentence on a drug-possession
charge.

He had fought unsuccessfully for years to stay in Canada, saying he
would be deprived of the marijuana he needs to keep a rare form of
adrenal cancer in check.

A Canadian Immigration Refugee Board adjudicator rejected his claim.
