Some more efforts to nail down some more dates for Steve Kubby's medical history.

Excerpt below is from a complaint submitted to the Orange County, California grand jury:

----------------------------------------------
II. BACKGROUND
----------------------------------------------

WHEREAS: Steve Kubby is a legally disabled American who is qualified under the definitions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Kubby has been certified by the United States Social Security Administration as medically disabled since 1980. Kubby was last re-certified as medically disabled in 1999. Kubby's disability is such that he can suffer a heart attack, stroke, or death anytime he is not protected by medical marijuana. Kubby can provide extensive medical research, performed by scientists and physicians at the University of Southern California which confirms that medical marijuana, which is the only medicine he uses, is successfully treating his disease, malignant pheochromocytoma. [See attachment -4-]

WHEREAS: Kubby's medical disability is real and life-threatening. Although so rare that most physicians never encounter a case of pheochromocytoma - even casually - they all know about it because its spectacular effects are legendary in medical school. "Pheos" produce norepinephrine; and the result is explosive elevations in blood pressure which produce blinding headaches, lethal strokes and heart attacks. Benign varieties are most common and can be successfully removed if the diagnosis is made beforehand and the patient protected by medication during delicate surgery. Malignant pheos, like Kubby's are something else; because they have already spread, complete surgical removal is impossible; nor do they respond to chemotherapy or radiation. They don't grow very aggressively, but they continue to release deadly showers of norepinephrine and almost all patients succumb to a horrible, emaciated death within a few years. Only Kubby has survived and continues to survive, thanks to the unique properties of medical marijuana.
