Pretty sad
In San Diego:
Friends say Steven McWilliams was tired. He was in pain. And he was scared of possible jail time.
The combination may be the reason the medical marijuana activist took his life Monday, they say.
He was 51.
“His health was deteriorating,” said longtime friend David Bronner. “And he was experiencing some lows. He was in pain, a lot of pain.”
Still, his death surprised Bonner and others who knew Mr. McWilliams. He was a fighter, they said, who was bold enough to smoke marijuana on the steps of San Diego City Hall to call attention to its medicinal benefits he so strongly believed in.
The fear of jail time or pain or death. Drugs are winning the war on drugs.
