Steve Kubby's Marinol supply is running out. May die in jail.
Marinol (THC, a cannabinoid found in cannabis) is costly, and Michele Kubby reports that they need money for more in a few days before they run out. Marinol is legal, yet the jail will not pay for it. Even though jails are supposed to provide medical care and drugs in jail. The Kubbys are broke, and Steve could risk death again from a blood pressure spike from the adrenaline produced by his cancerous adrenal glands if he doesn't continue to use cannabinoids. Steve almost died the first day in jail when he was without the use of any cannabinoids.
Michele Kubby reports at kubby.com that the jail is not paying for his Marinol, and that they do not have enough Marinol.

Jails are supposed to provide medical care and drugs. Marinol is a legal drug. But the authorities hate even admitting that Marinol (THC, a cannabinoid) works. Marinol is very expensive, and Michele is asking for help in paying for it. The Kubbys are broke.
Don't ever forget that Steve Kubby almost died the first day or 2 in jail. He reported the worst blood pressure attack he could remember, blood in his urine, and was starting to go blind in one eye for awhile. The authorities are quite willing to let him die. They have proved that the last 2 times that he has been jailed in the Placer County jail in Auburn, California.

CONTACT FROM MICHELE TODAY: 2-4-06
6-day EMERGENCY!
Michele just called me with some information.
Steve is not going after the use of the whole plant instead of Marinol. The reason for this is because in order to actually receive the whole plant, he would have to say that the Marinol was not working at all. Since the Marinol is controlling his Blood Pressure, Steve would have to perjure himself in order to get the whole plant.
Placer was going to argue that the Marinol was working and that he could keep using it instead of receiving the whole plant. He didn't want to lie and open that can of worms, so he just decided to drop the motion.
However, there are more important things right now.
Steve has 6 more days of medicine left. A company in Canada has volunteered to send some medicine to Michele for Steve to be able to use while incarcerated, but it has not arrived yet. The jail is not going to provide Marinol to Steve, an Michele does not have the money to obtain the amounts needed for Steve.
If you know of a Cancer Foundation that can help Steve get the medicine he needs and the proper treatment, please email me right away at jeremy [at] freecanadianparty.org and I will get in touch with them to see what they might be able to do for Steve.

Cancer patients can apply for
Social Security Disability,
Supplemental Security Income,
Medicaid or Medical
(whatever the California program is)
and Medicare.
These programs provide monthly
income
for cancer patients,
medicine,
and Marinol(R).
Marinol(R) product info:
http://www.drugs.com/PDR/Marinol_Capsules.html
Manufacturer: Unimed
Dronabinol is a cannabinoid and is the active ingredient in
Marinol (R) capsules.
It is a synthetic delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and it is a naturally occurring component of Marijuana.
Dronabinol is a light yellow
resinous oil
that is sticky
at room temperature and hardens upon refrigeration.
Dronabinol is insoluble in water and is formulated in sesame oil.
Marinol(R) has been given to cancer patients in hospitals in California for years.
Dronabinol is an orally active cannabinoid and has complex effects on the central nervous system.
Dronabinol (the active ingredient in Marinol(R))
affects appetite, memory, cognition, mood, and perception.
These affects appear to be dose-related, increasing with higher doses.
Marinol(R) is indicated for the treatment of weight loss in
AIDS patients and nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.
Patients receiving treatment with Marinol(R) capsules should be warned not to drive
until is is established they are able
to tolerate the drug
and to perform safely.
A cannabinoid dose-related "high"
(easy laughing, elation and heightened awareness)
has been reported by patients receiving Marinol(R) capsules.

If Steve Kubby can survive 3 harsh astrological transits
then things will go better for him.
So, please help Steve and his family now,
because you will see positive results for helping him.
These are very harsh astrological aspects,
very severe, so please help him get past these.
Steve Kubby is listed on Wikipedia with a birth date of
December 28, 1946.
Go to http://www.achernar.btinternet.co.uk/fm.html
and click on 1946 and scroll to December.
Then click on 2006 and scroll to February 6.
Print out both and compare.
Transiting Mars in 23 degrees Taurus
is exactly opposite
Steve's natal Venus in 23 degrees Scorpio.
Transiting Saturn in 7 degrees Leo
is exactly conjunct
Steve's natal Saturn in 7 degrees Leo.
Transiting Uranus in 9 degrees Pisces
is Square to Steve's natal
Node in 10 degrees Gemini.
Mars opposite Venus brings all the war like energy of
the government's war on drugs
against Steve's heart.
Saturn is the planet of discipline and restrictions.
Saturn has travelled and come back to where it
was when Steve was born.
This is frightening.
Please help Steve Kubby survive these astrological transits.
I rarely bring up the fact that I'm an astrologer
and have been so since the 60's when I was
trained in Massachusetts, and by some of the best
"Witches". I do have three black cats for personal protection.
But these astrological facts can be verified.
http://www.achernar.btinternet.co.uk/fm.html
Just look at Steve's birth data and
the data for Feb. 6, 2006.
Then go to any search engine and look up Saturn.
That's the scary one, that Saturn is in exactly
the position today that it was when Steve was born.
So, help Steve out, because he genuinely needs your help now.
This is very serious, astrologically.
I'd like to point out, also, that Feb. 13, 2006 is also
extremely serious astrologically for Marc Emery, Prince of Pot.

Hello Jeremy and friends of Steve Kubby,
Aloha. This is Roger Christie, founder of The Hawai'i Cannabis (THC) Ministry, licensed by the Hawai'i State Department of Health specifically as a "Cannabis sacrament" minister. My license number is 00-313. I just read an email from you about Steve Kubby and his lack of "adaquate supply" of medicine/sacrament while in jail. I have an idea to propose; holy anointing oil (made with Cannabis according to the Bible recipe) administered by one of our THC Ministers in the area as a "Cannabis Chaplain" to Steve. It just might get in the door, AND do the trick for Steve's recovery.
Do you know of us, yet? We are sometimes able to access jails and prisons easier than a 'normal' person when we apply for a "clergy" visit. The full US Supreme Court decided last June in favor of non-traditional religious practices for incarcerated persons in the Cutter case. It happened the same week as Raich so it received almost zero coverage by comparison. That victory is our opening.
http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/housing/housing_rluipa.htm
SEC. 3. PROTECTION OF RELIGIOUS EXERCISE OF INSTITUTIONALIZED PERSONS.
(a) GENERAL RULE- No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution, as defined in section 2 of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (42 U.S.C. 1997), even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person--
(1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.
(b) SCOPE OF APPLICATION- This section applies in any case in which--
(1) the substantial burden is imposed in a program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance; or
(2) the substantial burden affects, or removal of that substantial burden would affect, commerce with foreign nations, among the several States, or with Indian tribes.
SEC. 4. JUDICIAL RELIEF.
(a) CAUSE OF ACTION- A person may assert a violation of this Act as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against a government. Standing to assert a claim or defense under this section shall be governed by the general rules of standing under article III of the Constitution.
We contend that the sacrament of our ministry contains kaneh bos, or Cannabis in the sacred recipe of Exodus 30:23, and we have much evidence to prove this now. See:
http://thc-ministry.org/thelivingtorah.jpg
http://thc-ministry.org/jesus.htm
This trans-dermal, topical sacrament works miracles in many otherwise hopeless cases. Please run this by Michelle, and Steve's lawyer. I put a call into the jail Chaplain's office last week about this with zero reply, so far.
This might be a terrific breakthrough for Steve, for other prisoners similarly situated, and for the cause of Cannabis religious freedom.
All the very best to you,
Roger Christie, Founder

UPDATE FROM MICHELE: 2-12-06 [Feb. 12, 2006]
It's official everyone ... David Nick is the new attorney of Steve and also the legal spokesperson for us. If you would like to know the strategy of the case, please call Mr. Nick directly @ 415.531.3005.
Americans for Safe Access is trying to organize a couple of buses to transport patients to the courthouse for the hearing on the 15th @ 1.00 pm. If anyone can be of assistance with transportation, please contact them at their website, http://www.safeaccessnow.org.
Steve is suffering from new pains caused by his Sciatica. The Dr. has requested that Steve's orthotics be returned to him. Items such as hip, knee, and ankle supports would help him tremendously remain in line and in less pain. Michele says she has a small supply of Marinol that has been donated, but she is not sure if the Jail will allow them to be given to Steve since they are not his prescription medicine.
Another problem has become apparent also. Placer has not said if they plan to give Steve anymore Marinol when his runs out. This would mean that Steve's body is going to go into severe shock again and it could be very deadly.
Please continue to call the Placer County Jail requesting that Steve be given Marinol for his condition.
