Steve Kubby Held in Placer County Jail
Marijuana Patient Will Be Given Synthetic THC to Treat Adrenal Cancer While in Jail
2/3: See Indybay's Drug War Page for updates
Steve Kubby's attorney reported Friday that Kubby has been moved to the Placer County Jail, where he will be given Marinol. An arraignment and/or hearings will be held on Tuesday at the Placer County Courthouse in Auburn. Marinol is a synthetic form of THC.

American cancer patient and medical marijuana refugee Steve Kubby and his family have been ordered to leave Canada on or before Thursday, January 26th. The Immigration Ministry claimed that its departure orders are not subject to appeal, but the family tried to get a court to grant due process and allow them to appeal. Steve Kubby is a medical marijuana patient who has taken cannabis for some 20 years to treat adrenal cancer.

Background from before Kubby's deportation:The Placer County, California Assistant District Attorney has stated that Kubby would be arrested and jailed for at least 120 days, and possibly much longer, but the Canadian government's attorney has said that Kubby would face no risk of arrest if he is forced to return. If he is forced to leave, Steve Kubby will fly directly to San Francisco, where he will be greeted by both US law enforcement and California medical marijuana activists. If he is held in jail, he could be denied access to marijuana. Michele Kubby and their two daughters would drive to California, so they don't have to witness his likely arrest. Michele Kubby has asked for medical marijuana supporters to call Canadian Ministers to ask them to allow Steve Kubby to remain in Canada. Read more
