Exactly. Cannabis users have the problem of just letting whatever happen happen. Very few are really for the liberation of the sacred herb and really only want to get stoned. Thats all well and good, but with Marc Emery being arrested, we have a chance to force reform laws all over the country. If Canada can stand up to the US, then the whole cannabis nation can do it as well.
