Canadian judge allows marijuana for inmate

A sentence you wouldn't hear in the U.S. but did happen in Canada...

A judge ruled that a medical marijuana activist in Calgary should receive access to marijuana while behind bars. Grant Krieger suffers from multiple sclerosis and has legal permission to smoke marijuana for medical purposes.

Krieger was sentenced to four months in jail for trafficking in marijuana.

Canada is a lot more relaxed about marijuana than the U.S. A bill to effectively decriminalize had a chance while the Liberals were in power, but hasn't been brought up since Stephen Harper became Prime Minister.
