CALGARY -- Even after being sentenced to four months in jail, medical marijuana crusader Grant Krieger said Tuesday he will not stop supplying people with the illicit drug.

Judge William Pepler said Tuesday he felt he had no option but to jail Krieger, who has a judicial exemption from 2000 to grow and possess the drug to alleviate his multiple sclerosis.

The judge, however, was concerned about the Krieger's welfare after he was told corrections authorities will not allow cannabis marijuana into the jail.

He then deferred the sentence until June 18 to allow corrections officials the opportunity to make a provision for Krieger to receive his "medicine" while behind bars.

"I have no choice but to continue," Krieger said outside provincial court in Calgary on Tuesday after being handed the penalty for mailing 801 grams of marijuana to two separate people in Manitoba in late 2003 and early 2004, to help alleviate their pain for chronic illnesses.
