For those who couldn't be in Vancouver to see Marc Emery say goodbye to his hometown and the cannabis scene he started I posted a clip for you to watch on my site. Reeferlogic
For those who don't know who Marc Emery is or how he's being screwed by the US and Canadian governments because of his effective cannabis activism check out: Help Save Canadian Activist and Hero, Marc Emery! | Cannabis Culture Magazine
Marc (a legend in his own mind) Emery, illegally sold seeds, and got caught ... don't make more out of it, than it is ... he's nobody's hero, but his own :smokin:
Don't make more out of it than it is? Isn't sending a Canadian to a US prison for selling seeds already making more out of a situation than needs to be? It's people like you that is the reason why this drug is still illegal, you don't give a rats ass when others get arrested for this drug.
Keep up that attitude and the laws will never change and someday it'll be you sitting behind bars wondering what happened.
alleged criminals are extradited from country, to country, to face prosecution, every day :wtf: ... it's not unusual, this particular case involved a media whore, and got lots of publicity, that is the only difference ... :smokin:
yeah, Emery always struck me as a drama queen, too. But this whole thing reaks. there are actual memos from Karen Tandy at the DEA talking about how they needed to take him out because of the "political" threat he was to them. thats bullshit and surely illegal or and/or unconstitutional. Canada's gov't needs needs to stand up for its own citizens against the US DEA goons.
wooooo, DML has put on a little weight, eh? :stoned: thanks for posting that, I wish them both best of luck.Quote:

Emery and his organization had been designated as one of the Attorney General's most wanted international drug trafficking organizational targets -- one of only 46 in the world and the only one from Canada. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canda. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on."

It should all just be legal with regards to marijuana. You come off sounding like a cop. We are dedicated to making marijuana completely legal not just for medical users but for everyone. Sending someone from Canada to jail in the US for selling seeds is a crime against humanity.
It will just be another Tommy Chong scenario. They've made another martyr out of someone who has never hurt a single person. Marc will get out in a year or 2 and be more popular than ever.
