SAN DIEGAN WHO WAS LEADER OF CAUSE COMMITTED SUICIDE
In the same public square where he poked government in the eye so many times,
where he smoked marijuana in the open and even handed out samples, Steve
McWilliams will be heard from one last time Tuesday.
Friends and supporters of McWilliams, who killed himself last week in a
desperate effort to end his suffering and draw attention to his cause, will
gather at City Hall at noon to remember the activist who pushed San Diego into
becoming the largest city in the nation to adopt a medical marijuana law.
McWilliams' suicide Monday, the day he turned 51, has reverberated far beyond
San Diego County.
