[LOVElife]

I had never really heard of him until' a few weeks ago. Still don't know what makes him so special really?

[daima]

Fuck the oscars.

dai*ma
All the pretty people drinkin thinkin that they got it made
you better take that diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
you use to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat
who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
aint it hard when you discover that
he wasnt really where it's at
after he took from you everything he could steal
robert zimmerman :confused:
FREE MARC !!! :thumbsup: :dance: :D :stoned: show your support for real heros, not those who only play them:thumbsup:

[Gumby]

daima don't get the bob dylan reference??

He is a memebr of NORML, and has done a lot in Canada towards the legalization of cannabis. Also, he is a seed distrubuter, and he is looking at a life senstence, for selling seeds. :rolleyes:

It's ridiculas I think. I watched a youth murderer stab a kid at a bus stop to death over $60, and he got only 8months in a prison. Someone selling seeds, gets a life sentence...?

That's why he's so special because it is unfair.

[LIP]

8 months on a prison? 8 fucking months, and someone who sells seeds gets a life sentence. That is fucked up. What a bunch of cunts in government, they have NO FUCKING IDEA. NONE WHATSOEVER!!!! Stupid pricks in government... Thats just made my attitude towards governments about 20 times worse.

Not only that, but he wasn't even allowed to be tried in Canada. He was extradited to the US.

Its a film called "Grass". Woddy Harrelson narrates it and its made in a fun documentary style rather than actors portraying anything. You can rent it from Blockbuster and other movie rental places I'm sure.

[ImStonedNILikeIt]

Yes thats it!Grass. It's an awesome documentry type thing. :) Thanks Mingles Your awesome!

[halo]

Just finished watching 60 minutes. Wow! All I can say is wow. This man is a hero. I will be pissed off if this extradite thing goes thru. He is so confident in his beliefs and thats why i like him. He wont try to run or back down.

[lemonboy]

A decent program. I wish they hadn't used the term "bc bud" to describe the bud grown from the seeds he sells. It blurs the issue between seeds and bud even more. The DEA agent doesn't even differentiate between the two until the end of the program. Anyway, I'm nitpicking. I think to the average viewer it would have been very informative and I hope a couple non-smokers are motivated to learn more.

Marc really deserves everyone's support. He is so open about it all. The DEA agent is confronted with Marc's honesty at one point and there is a pause. It's magic.

[jbuckets]

i laughed when the DEA refered to him as the Prince of Federal Prison

[deepinhale]

I caught the tail end of that piece, and think Canada needs to stand up to the DEA and tell it to f-off. If he does wind up getting extradited, I hope it will turn into a HUGE outrage from both countries which will help bring more awareness to the cause.

Also, I am praying that Colorado passes the state-wide initiative in November to decrimilize < 1oz of weed if your over 21. How bad will that piss off the DEA!

Yes thats it!Grass. It's an awesome documentry type thing. :) Thanks Mingles Your awesome!

No matter how modest a man I am, you gotta love when someone serves you up such a compliment. Thanks man.

As to the 60 Minutes piece, I'm actually quite pleasantly suprised by CBS. I was expecting them to villify this man for "going against" the US, but quite the opposite. I think they portrayed the D.E.A. as the big bad man, so to say. Not that this will have any great bearing on the vast majority of spin but out by the anti drug folks, but maybe, just maybe this may open some peoples' eyes to these issues.
