SF Sups Consider Jail Conditions

Shona Gochenaur, director of the Axis of Love medical cannabis activist group, says San Francisco City Supervisor Tom Ammiano may introduce a resolution at tomorrow that all medical marijuana patients be allowed to use cannabis while in state custody.

The proposed resolution, which may also have the backing of city supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, was sparked by the imprisonment of medical cannabis patient Steve Kubby who was taken into custody by San Francisco police officers after arriving on a flight from Canada Thursday.

Kubby, who suffers from a rare form of adrenal cancer that he treats with cannabis, is now in a Placer County jail cell. Kubby tells supporters that jail officials are allowing him to use Marinol, a synthetic form of cannabis, but he is still suffering from nausea and extreme pain.

Kubby is scheduled to for a hearing at the Placer County courthouse in Auburn, California tomorrow at 1 pm. Gochenaur says she is arranging to transport 20 to 40 activists, patients and organizers from the steps of San Francisco City Hall to the Placer County Courthouse at 5 am tomorrow. The group plans to hold a press conference on the steps of the courthouse at 8:30 am.

Gochenaur asks that those who want to be transported be dressed for court. Axis of Love, which is headquartered at the California Marijuana Party bookstore at 223A 9th Street in San Francisco, is also looking for donations of food and gas money to Auburn.
