Lynn Harichy was arrested last week for possession of marijuana after
attempting to light a joint outside of a London, Ontario police station
in protest over Canada's ban on the use of medicinal marijuana. Ms. Harichy,
who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 18 years ago, hopes to challenge
the constitutionality of Canada's ban in court. More information, and a
photograph, can be found at http://www.hempnation.com/med/lynnmain.html.
