For those of you who say "He got what he deserved."
I hope you get busted on your way back home with your purchases.
You'll get what you deserve.
If I had more than $35 in my wallet at this moment, I would gladly donate as much as I could.
However, circumstances out of my hands have forced me to only have said $30 in my wallet.
Take heart that when I get back on me feet, before I buy my next bag of weed, or even the Roor the girlfriend and I plan on getting, I will donate $45, the price of an 1/8th of good stuff here.
This man has sacrificed his personal freedoms in the name of movement we shouldn't have to make in the first place; but he has. All of them have. Every single person who's stood up for OUR rights and was sent to prison for it has sacrificed something for freedom.
And for you to sit comfortably saying "He got what he deserved." is a disgrace to any of the great matyrs in history. And that's what we should consider those willing to do time for their beliefs, matyrs.
Revere in those who give up their lives for the plant we enjoy.

Sorry to bring such an old topic from the dead, but reading some of the responses to this thread sickened me. I had to say something.
First, he sold seeds. Selling seeds is nothing like selling bud. If you don't know what to do with those seeds they won't do you any good, and I'm surprised that fact hasn't been used in his, or other legal cases.Quote:

It's one thing to not have the money, or even just be a cheap ass, but to say the guy deserves what he is getting is just completely ridiculous. Don't BS us by saying "i'd donate to childrens leukemia fund before i did to him", because everybody reading this thread knows you wouldn't donate jack shit to anybody for any reason. We aren't that stupid.
Now as for Marc, I wish he had been a little bit more careful because he can't do much from behind bars, but he did what he believes he should have and that I can respect. I have freely parted with money many times myself in the past, whether it's to a close friend that is struggling for cash, or a co-worker I'd never even personally met needing help with bills, and if I wasn't dead broke myself I would give as much as I could to the BC3 for their fight. I feel especially sympathetic towards Michelle who has Crohn's just like me, and I really wish there was something I could do for these heroes fighting for better health.
I'm not bringing up my past donations to be condescending towards others that have never donated themselves, but rather so that this wouldn't be a typical "would if I could" post. I hope others see this and think maybe they should do the same and give openly as I honestly wish I could if I had the money myself. There is no better feeling than to take a bunch of money and give it to someone you know could use it far better than yourself, it is a truly humbling experience that I hope others will find on their own. The satisfaction you will have for helping others far exceedes whatever you could purchase with that same amount of cash, and if you don't believe me, why not try? ;)
IMO the "He got what he deserves" sentiment is pathetic. I like to think of the counter culture as a community that SHOULD stick together against unjust laws. Then someone like Marc has the balls to stand up against the hipocricy and what do you people say? Oh well, he shouldn't have broken the law. WTF!!!! You all break the law everyday, and the people that he has been fighting against are the same people that would put YOU in jail. The only difference IMO between us and him is he acts selflessly on behalf of all of us while we act only with our own selves in mind. I'm donating. Good luck marc and thank you!
Thank you to everyone who is showing support!!! :jointsmile:
im pissed at all the Americans in here that have been negitive about hleping the BC3 out. What they did was so wrong in Canada, hell they had taxes collected from them. But our Gov. has a problem with it and thats bullshit. Most of us think of how nice it would be if it was legal in our Country.Every seed sent to the US was ask for by a American. If people like Mark dont take these chances and send seeds we most of us would have the good herb we got or get. Everybody whats it changed but no one want to help. We can overgrow (overpower) our gov with numbers but not if we dont work together. your atttudes make me proud to be an American let me tell you. NOT!!!!!!!! i have donated and will again. All you dealers out there do some good with some of the money your making. Karma comes around!
What they did was NOTso wrong in Canada, hell they had taxes collected from them.
Its baffling that anyone who ever bothered to create an account here wouldn't support Marc finacially or otherwise.
Let me spell it out: Marc crusaded for legalization, which would undoubtably decrease the cost of weed, despite probable taxation. This would benefit anyone who buys weed in the form of having more cash left over to buy useless plastic crap from China.. er, Walmart.
Now sending money for Marc's legal defense will hardly guarantee legalization, but you have to start somewhere. Mainstream media attention helps any cause, and if enough people send enough money to pay enough lawyers to get Marc a fair shake, he'll get out of jail and continue to crusade for legalization, which would benefit our lazy ungrateful stoned asses.
The man sold me seeds on the cheap, good seeds, hoping that marijuana would become so common that the government would be forced to legalize because pot was as common as dandelions.
On the other hand, greedy lazy dope dealers would have to get jobs just like everyone else. For me that's just another reason to support Marc and his efforts.
Afghooey makes a great point in saying use the money you were going to spend on a bag; that money wasn't going to feed any starving children anyway.
If only I had a credit card.
*Bump*
These guys still need your help. :)
