January 26, 2005, 11:45 p.m. Bay City News contributed to this report REDWOOD CITY - A medical marijuana advocate arrested as he disembarked a Canadian flight at San Francisco International Airport tonight became ill in a Redwood City jail due to lack of medication, according to a spokesman for NORML. Steve Kubby, a cancer patient, began coming ill two hours after his 8:10 p.m. arrest following police refusal to provide Marinol, NORML spokesman D. Gieringer reported. San Francisco Police Officer George Swartz said Steve Kubby was taken into custody around 8:10 p.m. by San Francisco police. Swartz said Kubby, who had been deported from Canada, was arrested on a no-bail warrant and was booked into San Mateo County jail. "I'm really sick already," Kubby told Gieringer by telephone said from jail. "I'm gonna start puking my brains out." "He says his guards laughed at him when he requested Marinol. Kubby says he hasn't had marijuana for half a day and has begun to experience all of the symptoms of his life-threatening disease -- nausea, headaches, swollen kidneys. He has chills and has not been able to get a blanket from the guards," Gieringer stated. San Francisco airport police said that they had arrested him at the request of Placer County authorities. They said Kubby will be arraigned in court tomorrow morning, though it wasn't clear where -- in Redwood City, where he is being detained, or in Placer County. -----end-------- ------------------ ----San Francisco Chronicle article begins---- web page Pot advocate arrested at SFO after arriving from Canada Chronicle Staff Report Thursday, January 26, 2006 Marijuana advocate and former gubernatorial candidate Steve Kubby, a fugitive for several years, was arrested at San Francisco International Airport on Thursday night on a plane that arrived from Canada, San Francisco police said. Kubby co-authored "Why Marijuana Should Be Legal" with marijuana advocate Ed Rosenthal and in 1998 was the Libertarian Party candidate for governor. According to the New York Times, Kubby fled California in 2001 after police found 265 marijuana plants in his Squaw Valley home. He was sentenced to four months of house arrest and probation -- and fearing it would lead to an eventual prison term in which he would be unable to use medical marijuana to treat adrenal cancer, he fled to Canada. San Francisco police said he was arrested on a no bail warrant for fleeing the U.S. He was arrested at 8:10 p.m. at SFO following his deportation from Canada. -----end----- ------------------ -----Bay City News article begins---- web page MEDICAL MARIJUANA ADVOCATE ARRESTED AT SFO January 26, 2006, 11:00 p.m. SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (BCN) - A medical marijuana advocate was arrested tonight at San Francisco International Airport as he disembarked from his flight from Canada, according to San Francisco police.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Medical marijuana crusader Steve Kubby was arrested
Thursday night at San Francisco Airport after spending years as a fugitive
in Canada.

 

Kubby was arrested on a no-bail warrant and booked into San Mateo County
jail, San Francisco police said.

 

Kubby's supporters and family were on hand as he boarded the flight escorted
by his American lawyer, who worried he could die without access to pot in
jail.

 

"The officials in Canada might be sending him back to a death sentence,"
said Bill McPike

 

Write George Bush, tell him about the Miracle of Medical Marijuana and beg
him to Free Steve Kubby.
