PERSECUTION OF KRIEGER A WAR CRIME
IAM writing with regards to the cruel treatment of Grant Krieger, the
multiple sclerosis victim who relieves his symptoms with marijuana.
Living with a severely debilitating disease is bad enough. The RCMP and the
federal government should have some sympathy and leave this patient alone.
Maybe he does get a "high" from the pot, but so do the millions of patients
who use prescription medications every day.
If this is a battle in the war-on-drugs then the ongoing persecution of
Krieger appears to be a war crime. Watching the wheelchair-bound Krieger
drag himself through the courts, I find myself asking a question: Is this
how human beings are supposed to treat each other?
