REEFER BADNESS

I am very disappointed in canada's decision to deport Steve Kubby back to
California (NOW, January 29-February 4). Marijuana is the only medicine that
is keeping Mr. Kubby alive and alleviating some symptoms of the rare cancer
he suffers. I always thought Canada was a much more enlightened and
compassionate country than the U.S. and didn't suffer from the reefer
madness mentality prevalent here. Mr. Kubby is a law-abiding individual.
Stand up to the U.S. and reform your drug policies and show compassion by
allowing Mr. Kubby to live in your great country.
