CN ON: Protesters' Plan Goes To Pot
ccguide Monday 27 Nov 2000 Pubdate: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 Source: Ottawa Sun (CN ON) Copyright: 2000, Canoe Limited Partnership Contact: Address: 380 Hunt Club Rd., Ottawa, Ontario, K1G 5H7 Website: http://www.canoe.ca/OttawaSun/ Forum: http://www.canoe.ca/Chat/home.html Author: Ann Marie McQueen Cited: Marijuana Party http://marijuanaparty.org/ Bookmark: http://www.mapinc.org/mjparty.htm (Canadian Marijuana Party) PROTESTERS' PLAN GOES TO POT Parliament Hill pot protesters tried to take a final shot at Ottawa's cops when they turned in a marijuana plant at regional police headquarters yesterday. RCMP officers hassled Coburg resident Steven Bacon, who has a federal exemption to laws preventing the possession and cultivation of marijuana, when he brought the foot-high plant to the protest Saturday. Bacon eventually put the plant in his car. But yesterday he and fellow protester Alison Myrden dropped the plant on the front desk at police headquarters before heading home. The cop they approached closed his wicket and would have nothing to do with the pair or their plant. "We're medicinal marijuana patients, sir," said Myrden. Police took the plant and planned to destroy it, Staff Sgt. Les Bowie said. Meanwhile, protesters denounced the actions of Marijuana Party Leader Marc-Boris St. Maurice at yesterday's rally. He was charged with assaulting a police officer in a pie-throwing incident. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
