MARIJUANA CANDIDATE RESTRICTED BY CURFEW
SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- Jim Wood hopes he can attend an all-candidates meeting
on Wednesday to defend the views of the Marijuana Party. That is, if a judge
will let him go out after dark.
Wood, 31, has been under a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew since June 28. Provincial
court Judge James McNamee included the condition as part of a six-month
community sentence after Wood pleaded guilty to possession of - what else? -
marijuana.
Wood is allowed to break the curfew only when commuting to and from work.
He will ask the judge Wednesday to give him a one-night break for the
election meeting.
