New developments in the Steve Kubby case have become known after my last update:

1. Marinol to be allowed…
   There are reports that authorities — or rather, so-called officials — have relented and are going to allow Steve Kubby to use Marinol, a synthetic form of THC, in jail — after initially denying it to him. This may be the desperately needed miracle that Steve and his family have been hoping for to save his life.

   “He had a little conversation with God,” said his wife, Michele Kubby. “And he asked Him, ‘Can I survive this ordeal?’ He got the answer back that, if he tries Marinol, it just might work,” she said…

   Medical marijuana patients commonly describe Marinol as “inferior” in its effectiveness or “only marginally effective“. It might just barely be enough to save Steve Kubby’s life, though, and get him through this ordeal.

2. Possible vigils…
   Although it’s not certain yet if it will happen or not, there’s some talk of holding vigils for Steve outside the Placer County Jail, where he is being held, in Auburn, California. Auburn is “about 1/2 hour to the East of Sacramento on Highway 80, about 3 hours from San Francisco“.
3. Financial Help…
   Money is needed both for Steve’s family:

   “…the Kubby family needs a few thousand bucks to handle some of the additional expenses relating to the arrest. Your contributions can be made out to the Kubby Defense Fund.”

   …as well as for Steve’s own commissary needs while in jail:

   “…anybody can put money on Steve’s books for commissary & health items. These must be US postal money order. No letters may accompany the money orders. Letters of support may be sent to the same address. MOs should be made out to Steve Kubby.
