VANCOUVER- American cannabis refugee Steve Kubby, received an exemption
today from Health Canada to possess and cultivate medical cannabis. The
American will be allowed to grow 59 plants, possess and travel with 360
grams (about 12 ounces), and store 2,655 grams (about 6 pounds). The
exemption lasts for one year. Mr. Kubby was issued an exemption for a
category 3 illness - chronic and long-term.
The exemption was initially submitted on the 12th of August, received on the
13th and a final exemption was delivered by courier to the Kubbys on August
29th.
"It's been six years that our family been fighting for recognition of
Steve's right to use the only medicine that is keeping him alive," said
Michele Kubby. "The Health Canada program still has too many hoops for a
sick person to jump through, but the people at Health Canada were supportive
and showed genuine concern and respect for our situation. The U.S would do
well to study the Canadian model."
The Kubbys said they were especially grateful to Marc Emery, John Conroy,
Michelle Rainey-Fenkarik, Brian Carlisle, Dale Pedersen, David Malmo-Lavine
and all of the other supporters who stood by them. The Kubbys also are very
grateful to Dr. Joseph Connors for his courageous and compassionate stand on
their behalf.
