U.S. pot crusader Steve Kubby's conviction erased
A U.S. medical marijuana advocate who fought for four years to gain refugee status in Canada says he hopes to visit Canada again.
Steve Kubby lost his bid for refugee status and served 40 days of a 120-day sentence in California in 2006.
Last week, though, the conviction expunged from the former magazine publisher's record after he successfully completed probation. Kubby says he has fond memories of Canada and hopes to visit again.
While fighting for refugee status, Kubby claimed that if he were returned to the U.S., he would be deprived of the marijuana he uses to keep the symptoms of a rare form of adrenal cancer in check.
After his claim was rejected, he returned to California voluntarily and was given a synthetic form of marijuana while in custody.

Glad to hear this! If I recall correctly the synthetic form did little for him while in jail. Glad to see that this man was released!!:thumbsup:
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
