Marijuana crusader Grant Kreiger was released on bail yesterday -- despite his refusal to promise to stay off the weed.
Justice Patrick Sullivan rejected submissions by Crown prosecutor Scott Couper that Kreiger should remain locked up because he won't eschew his miracle drug."The court should exercise some caution ... given his obvious commitment to overturn the law," Couper told Sullivan.But the judge said it's not illegal to try and change legislation."He can promise to overturn the laws all he wants, that's not a crime," said Sullivan.Defence lawyer Adriano Iovinelli said his client, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, has agreed not to grow or distribute marijuana until he can take his cause before a jury.But Iovinelli said his client will still need to have a daily fix of weed to relieve the pain of his illness.Kreiger, 45, faces five-drug related charges.

Grant granted
Thank you FoM, I am so happy that the only thing that pisses me off is that they made Grant miss the CCC meeting, however he would have been proud. More was accomplished than at the last one(no press).I have renewed faith in Canada,maybe sanity will find a way into the government.HalaluyaPraise Life,Mitaoyate,hempity
