Lately though, the treatment of medical marijuana users in full compliance with California law by Placer County authorities has sickened me, and the thought of visiting your beautiful area makes me very fearful. The treatment of Steve and Michele Kubby is particularly repugnant. The scope of human rights violations that have been committed against the Kubbys is very alarming. Now, with the district attorney refusing to release the Kubbys' computers many months after the arrest, and a local judge allowing this travesty to prevail, it is apparent Placer County authorities have no respect for California law and the concept of justice. I hope that the jury selection for the Kubbys trial will see through the prosecution's lies and falsified evidence, and vote to acquit. Placer County authorities need to get in step with California law or face the removal for non-compliance. Gary Storck Madison, Wis. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
