POT ADVOCATE FEARS CHARGES

Medicinal marijuana advocate Grant Krieger will meet with city police
today to discuss a package intercepted before reaching its
destination.

Krieger says he suspects the package police wish to speak to him about
contains approximately $3,000 in marijuana. It was mailed via United
Parcel Services to a client in Winnipeg last December, and is one of
two packages he lost in the space of a month.

The Calgary man, who has multiple sclerosis, expects today's meeting
will result in charges and a stay at the Calgary Remand Centre.

"I don't relish the possibility of jail time but the laws need to
change," he said. "This issue has to change for the sick."
