A local crusader for the legalization of marijuana to ease pain has no problem doing time -- as long as it advances his arguments, says Grant Krieger's lawyer.
"He'll go to jail for the cause, but not because he sold drugs," Adriano Iovilleni said yesterday after Krieger's pot-growing operation was busted by city police."He doesn't want to be labelled a drug trafficker."On Wednesday night, police executed a search warrant at Krieger's home in the 4600 block of Bowness Rd. N.W.They found a small, sophisticated hydroponic marijuana growing operation, with 29 plants in various stages, with a street value of $25,000.He was charged with two counts of breach of probation, one count of production/manufacturing of drugs, and one count of possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.Krieger, 45, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, is the founder of the Compassion Club, an organization made up of sick and dying Calgarians who use marijuana to ease their pain.
