Bill C-15 has passed committee (don't ask me how) and is now ready to be voted on for the last time. It has the support of both the liberals and the conservatives and is one of the most damaging bills to the marijuana community ever. It is introducing mandatory minimum sentences for marijuana related charges.

It absolutely boggles my mind that prohibition is even considered, never mind creating laws that exacerbate the problems prohibition has already caused.
Liberal revolt Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff seems to be facing some serious trouble at the party grassroots -- all revolving around the caucus decision to support this bill -- C-15, which introduces mandatory prison sentences for drug crimes.

As we see more of the states start to loosen up, it makes me cry to see our country go backwards like this. Embarrassing.
Neo-Cons have no sovereignty or allegiance. The planet is their goal. Mexamericanada. Boosh threatened trade sanctions before, Harpie seems to be a good puppet going along with it. South America seems fed up. Mexicans want it to end. If the Ganjawar mongers can be kept from meddling. Seems our neoconjobs have all gone bonkers over health care. They protest clean air, water and hemp too. And these Ganjawar mongers all went to the university. Where they were put in boxes, little boxes, all the same. And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers, and there’s business executives. And they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all sound just the same… Canada: Harper Pledges to Aid Mexico in Drug War Mayeda, Andrew Vancouver Sun 10 Aug 2009

Ganjawar Puppets Cave... again After intense pressure from the United States, President Vicente Fox has asked Congress to reconsider a law it passed last week that would decriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs as part of a larger effort to crack down on street-level dealing. In a statement issued late Wednesday, Mr. Fox said the law should be changed "to make it absolutely clear that in our country the possession of drugs and their consumption are and continue to be crimes."

just saw "The Prince of Pot" first time ever last week---on tv here in Cali. i thought he was cool as fuck---but he was bragging about the millions of dollars in seeds he sold and that his goal was to fight against the American drug war----Canada should have never handed him over----how the fuck can the U.S. bust someone in Canada for selling seeds? do we have worldwide jurisdiction now?
how the fuck can the U.S. bust someone in Canada for selling seeds? do we have worldwide jurisdiction now? The US never stopped buying hemp seed for pet shops, After Nixon lied and lumped it all into a schedule#1 narcotic, they required the seeds to be sterilized. Still sold them. McCaffrey tried busting 17 truckloads and lost. Audubon Society is all for legalizing since 98% of the US "marijuana" eradications are wild ditchweed pheasant habitat. The only crime I see is Marc selling unsteralized seeds. But Tommy Chong never made a bong and got 9 month's for lending his name. They put 8 bullets in Tom at Rainbow Farm. Take food stamps and college tuition assistance away for life and serve the Police/Prison industrial Complex. The Medical/Pharmaceutical\Ag Poison Complex, Fossil fools, trees, paper and the 90 million pounds of poison used on cotton, not hemp. The Booze and their huge infrastructure not needed for a few plants in the herb garden. $ 1 Trillion spent since 1937 = $1 Trillion profit + tax. That's the Ganjawar. Blessed is the Police State? Exporting DEAmocracy This is part of our global contribution. The drug war has become the preferred foreign policy approach toward controlling much of the world. We export our drug war, our tactics, and, most of all, our DEA.
