    If you broke them in the US we could. Unless you have diplomatic immunity or a presidential pardon.

    Yes but again.

    So what? He didnt break Canadian law. I refer you to the allofmp3.com case. You cant be charged for breaking another countries laws. If the Americans bought it, they should be charged, not the guy who is not breaking laws.

    You can be charged for breaking another countries law if you were in their country when you did it. If they have proofs he sold in the US then they can put him in jail for selling in the US. Unless, once again, he has diplomatic immunity or a pardon from the president of the US.

    im going to have to see some proof here.

    as far as I know its up to the country, in this case Canada, to choose whether he will be prosecuted under American law.

    SIMMER.

    He did break American laws. Not in Canada. He mailed seeds to America, (they're calling that consipracy to provide americans with marijuana), and he gave funds to marijuana activists, (and they're calling that money laundering). He was in Seatle, I believe, when he was arrested for this. He didn't do any of his business over the border, he left the postal services to do that.

    He was arrested on American soil, for breaking American laws, laws he broke on Canadian soil.

    Dude...If you shoot someone in the USA, then the US government can arrest and charge you for shooting someone in the US no matter what country you are from. Same is with any law. If anyone breaks a law in any country they can be tried in said country.

    But he was not selling seeds on US soil, just mailing them. He wasn't arrested by some undercover cop in NYC or something selling weed, he was mailing seeds.

    But he was selling them to people in the US. He broke US law and if he was indeed arrested in Seattle then it makes perfect sense and it is well within the rights of the government to do.

    It doesn't count as breaking a US law if he didn't do it on American soil.

    I'm 19. Can I be arrested for underaged drinking then next time I visit the states, even though I'm not drinking? No, because I drank in Canada, where I wouoldn't be arrested.

    He sold and mailed the seeds in Canada. The post office, homeland security and customs check people, and the American postal service, brought it to its destination.

    In America, it is illegal to sell or distribute seeds. That's the law IN America. He sold and distributed them IN Canada.

    the US was never meant to police the fucking globe... it IS totally out of the DEA's jurisdiction, but if the canadian government wont grow some balls and tell them "NO", people like Marc will continue to get fucked. I hope that pressure from the US won't deter canadians from doing the right thing and telling uncle sam to piss off.
