Instead of buying your next sack...

I know this is a lot to ask, but please hear me out. I know some people on here smoke a whole lot of weed, and there's a lot of money going that way. But few stop to think about just where that herb came from, how it became possible for them to get it.

So I'm asking this, as a personal favor. Please consider donating the money from your next bag to helping pay the legal fees of the BC3, Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams. Chances are that the very existence of some of the fine ganja you've smoked has been directly contributed to by Marc Emery and his seed business. That's not even taking into account the millions of dollars he's spent campaigning for legalization. This man and his colleagues have done worlds for the anti-prohibition movement... now we have a chance to give something back to them.

Whether or not you chose to donate, I totally respect your choice...

But for those who do chose to donate... please accept a great big THANK YOU from me. :jointsmile:

This page has links for donations and "No Extradition" T-shirts, the proceeds of which will go to helping pay the legal fees of the BC3:

he pretty much dealed weed and he got caught, it's his fucking fault, im not wasting a dime on it haha

He knew the risk he was taking and he took it anyway. That doesn't mean he deserves what he's getting though, if he gets extradited.

yeah, that's true. i'd donate to childrens leukemia fund before i did to him, ya know?

You're 5 minutes too late...

You should be a politician, afghooey.

That's respectable. I'll still give you a big "THANK YOU" if you do that instead. :)

Actually, he gave it all away to fund the legalization movement. Millions of dollars, in fact.

He should have kept some in case he ever got caught, which was highly probable considering he was heading the legalization movement in Canada with his drug money.

Props to him for his activism, but people are getting busted all over the world for the same shit and I just don't have extra cash to give to this guy. I wanna smoke!

Fair enough, like I said in my first post I still respect your decision. :stoned: Take a few hits for me.

You know what they say "sleep with the devil and your likely to get a fiery stonker up your starfish" he took the risk and got shafted.

NCM

Yeah I wouldnt give him a cent, but I like your kindness afg

I would have helped him but he is canadian.:jointsmile: Rush, tim Horton's , the metric systym, open borders for terrorists....blah , blah , blah.... he was pushing the limits everyday. he got what he deserved.:thumbsup:

I really feel bad for them, if they really donated all that money. I want to help him. . .

Just because someone tells you not to do it, and their is risk involved doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. It means more people should. It's a bullshit charge that none of us should defend. . . I hope this inspires others to help each other and defend a real cause. . .

i think this sucks, your saying it as if its like ''he killed millions of people, he deserves what he got''

FTS its not like that and basically i think it sucks that you lot are ebing sucks dicks about it...

I wont donate right now as i have no card that can do anything online, but ill work soemthign out :mad:

Nice one afghoney :thumbsup:

$25 from me... every little bit helps. Thanks for pointing this out, afghooey. :jointsmile:

Ur still a piece of shit.

Hey, hey... no need to be uncivil, now. If you have to sling mud, go do it somewhere else please. :stoned:

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.

Second, marijuana is, as far as I know, pretty much illegal to use in the states. Everybody on this site is most likely breaking one or more laws on a constant basis. So for you to criticize a fellow marijuana user/activist for breaking laws just as you break laws every day, is really hypocritical. 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. :)

As soon as I get on my feet as far as debt goes, I will donate $50. I haven't even been able to buy an 1/8th for a good 2 months!

For all the people who are not going to donate because "he got what he deserved," then have fun if you get arrested and you want somebody to bail you out for your own selfish reasons! And also, I am guessing that you don't even want cannabis to be legalized! Sure, you may say that you want it to be legalized, but you don't, because you won't even help a very small fraction of the movement.

You: "Oh, wouldn't it be awesome if weed was legal, so I could smoke all day, every day, and not get in trouble."
Person: "Want to donate $10 to help support the BC3 getting out of jail, so that they can continue to strive for legalization of cannabis in North America?"
You: "Fuck them, they got what they deserved for selling weed! *takes a hit off a fat joint*"

ROFL, give me a break, dude. You're probably a 15 year old, because that certainly sounds like teenager logic to me. For those of you who try to justify not doing it with a stupid justification like "they got what they deserved," then you obviously don't even give a damn about the legal status of cannabis in North America, deep down.

By the way...

The DEA went out of their jurisdiction when arresting them. They were in Canada, not the U.S. Therefore, even if you support the prohibition of cannabis, and the incarceration of cannabis users, it is still wrong in terms of the legal system.

Support the BC3...Automatic bans are appropriate for those who would imprison the BC3. If I were a moderator, I would snatch the rug out from under you and steal your lunch money...and throw your headgear in the ocean...If I only had such power. :chainsaw:

Okay, calm down Tea Party...:bonghit:...okay. I am better now.

Really though, what planet are you kids from? Put down the 40 ouncer, walk back inside your mother's womb and try again!! We want a refund.

If it were not for the BC3 and Cannabis Culture and individuals and groups like them, I would not be high right now, and neither would you. If those comments are a joke, they are not funny. You are running up in a church pissing on Jesus is what you are doing.

Nobody deserves to be in prison for being a gardener...bag buyers need to learn respect for their roots and the serious adults who take all of the risks paving the way so that bad apples can waste weed in front of their video game consoles. I liked to smoke weed and have a good time when I was a teenager, but I do not remember being anything less than respectful of my ancestors teachers.

Afghooey...check's in the mail. I have been wanting to do it for a long time anyway. There is only one thing wrong with the BC3--Michelle is married and I have a crush on her. But Jeff Tek deserves her. I wrote him an email once and he wrote back right away and was very polite.

I would love to donate... but I dont have a credit card or otherwise with which to pay for on the internet.. and even if i did Im dead broke. I still back them up with my full support. Anyone who smokes weed and beleives in legalization of the plant should support them just as much either with donations or just moral support. People these days (seems to be especially Americans nowadays) are to lazy to get off their asses and fight for the rights that our founding fathers gave us when this country was born. But instead we just sit on our asses and bitch and moan about it, hoping someone else will fight for us. Potsmokes around the globe should stand up and unite as one to fight for our rights! We have the right to protest. So why dont we? If we all stood up as Potsmokers United, we would win our freedoms and rights. We take the same risks as Marc does, but Marc actually helped with fighting for our freedoms. We should help him fight for his freedom now. Hopefully this inspires some lazy americans. Peace.

RFQR-ROFL, give me a break, dude. You're probably a 15 year old. By the way RFQR, IM A FUCKING 15 year old. Just cause im young doesnt mean i have the same viewpoints as you. Yes i would love it if marijuana were legal, and i would donate if i could. But if i ever hear a protest rally or some other shit around here im definitely going.

these people are dicks to you yo lol
be like you assfucks give him money
i might but im 15 and have no money lmao

For the record I'd like to point out that there is not a single post where somebody claims marc "got what he deserved" so all the people posting about how pissed off that statement makes them can stop now.

oh woops I must have missed that....psyche


all he did was say it was Marcs own fault so he didn't want to donate money. Spicoli didn't say anything about him deserving it. He may have said it in a slightly harsh way but still, its not enough for all these people to bitch over like they are doing.

For anybody who does not already have this information, here is the link to the Free the BC3 site: No Extradition for the BC3!

If you are broke you are broke, but, FYI, you do not need a credit card. You can send an international money order available at the post office if you want to contribute.
A donation of $35 gets you a medicinal marijuana shirt and procedes go to legal funds. :thumbsup:
