TAHOE CITY, Calif. Last year's California Libertarian gubernatorial candidate and his wife have pleaded innocent to felony charges of growing and selling Marijuana. 
Steven Kubby, a supporter of medical marijuana, and his wife, Michele, were arrested at their Olympic Valley home Jan. 19 by a drug task force after a six-month investigation. Some 360 marijuana plants were seized. At their arraignment Thursday, Superior Court Judge James Garbolino scheduled the couple's preliminary trial for March 2. They remain free on their own recognizance after spending two days in Placer County Jail. The Kubbys have said growing their own marijuana is legal under California's Proposition 215, passed by voters in 1996. Kubby, 52, has had adrenal cancer since 1975 and his wife has an intestinal disorder. Kubby finished fourth in the race for governor last fall, receiving about 1 percent of the vote.
