Kubby claims Marinol is working

I don't know what to make of this. Steve Kubby has withdrawn his request for medical marijuana, stating in court that the Marinol is now working and he's never felt better in years. I hope that's true and he wasn't coerced in some way to make that statement, as he had been intimidated into signing a release absolving the jail of responsibility should he die in custody.

We'll assume for the moment it's true however and hope this means this story will result in a happy ending once he gets out of jail and reunites with his family. Whatever happens however, there's no question that the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent to prosecute his case and incarcerate him will not have been worth it.

But on a brighter note, it does provide proof that marijuana is really a medicine.
