POT CANDIDATE GETS LEGAL OK

SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- A judge helped prevent Jim Wood's election campaign from
going up in smoke this week.

Wood, a Marijuana party candidate serving a six-month sentence of house
arrest for pot possession, got the legal OK on Wednesday to attend an
evening all-candidates meeting.

As part of his sentence, Wood must stay in his house from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

He went to provincial court Wednesday to ask to be let off for one night for
an election debate.

"People have a right to hear what I have to say," Wood said.

The judge agreed.
