Grant Wayne Krieger is a prominent advocate of legalization of marijuana in Canada. He openly admitted to using and selling marijuana from his home in Calgary, due to his own illness, multiple sclerosis, and various medical conditions of his customers.
In 2000 Krieger won a judicial ruling, allowing him to use Marijuana for personal medical purposes.
In June 2001 Krieger was acquitted on charges of possessing and trafficking Marijuana.
In December 2003 Krieger was convicted of trafficking Marijuana. But this conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court in October 2006, who found the trial judge erred in compelling the jury to convict Krieger.
In March 27, 2007 Krieger was sentenced to four months in jail for trafficking in marijuana. The same judge, also ordered that Krieger be provided Marijuana for medical purposes, while in jail. Because Corrections Canada indicated they would not allow him to use Marijuana, the judge deferred the sentence to June 2007, to give them time to accommodate Krieger use of Marijuana.
