Istvan Marton: Legalize Marijuana

Times-Colonist Dept: The 69-year-old was on a hunger strike, appealing to the Canadian government to legalize marijuana, said his sister Juliana Bazso, according to The Star. He was only half a size of what he was, she said. His doctor, Jane Clelland, told the Times-Colonist that Marton s weight dropped from 79 kilograms to 55 kilograms on his diet of juice, water and clear soup and in the six weeks leading up to his death Istvan Marton ate nothing and thought a lot. Bazso disapproved of her younger brother s lifestyle she says he was the local supplier of weed to the small Malcolm Island community of Sointula off the coast of B.C. but went to visit Marton as he became progressively more sick.
