TRAFFICKING CASE DELAYED FOR MARIJUANA CRUSADER

Pot crusader Grant Krieger's new trial on a charge of possession of
marijuana for the purpose of trafficking has been delayed for at least two
more months.

On Wednesday, Krieger's case was set over until the April 9 arraignments at
Alberta Court of Queen's Bench.

Lawyers are waiting for the Supreme Court of Canada to decide whether it
will hear a Crown appeal of Krieger's acquittal on a charge of cultivation
of the drug he uses for medical purposes.

In December, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the original ruling of two
years ago, in which a judge said it was unconstitutional for the federal
government to prevent Krieger from being able to obtain marijuana to
alleviate pain caused by his multiple sclerosis.
