I can't decide if Canada's Harper is just an obedient sniveling lapdog coward a bit more than Biraq Obomba is gung ho on Imperialism. Harper never busted Marc and could be considered an assessory with full knowledge. Waldo Pee had no problem snatching Americans out of their hospital beds in Canada, no resistance. Now another "example" another family traumatized. More Tax dollars spent caging political prisoners of WoD. This time taking a sovereign citizen out of his native country for no real crime, just to stop a fund raiser and contributor to those against the Ganjawar. Pet shops buy cannabis seeds everyday in the US. McCaffrey tried to bust 17 truckloads and was told hands off. Now Marc faces 5yrs? Knowing it all continues on Nixon's lie and does real harm to real people. In this illogical process of "setting examples". What is the message kids?

American Hands in the Canadian Pot Canada’s 'Prince of Pot' in one of his last newspaper interviews before extradition to a U.S. prison. No Extradition for Marc Emery! Discussion about the Drug Enforcement Administration's attempt to extradite Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams to the United States of America. All three Canadians face life in US prison for their political activism and financing drug law reform worldwide through the sale of marijuana seeds. Prince of Pot & Jodie U2b Cannabis Culture The Drug War Refugees "Make no mistake: The government's demonization of marijuana is irrational. When I first published a study in the journal, Science, on marijuana's physical and psychological effects back in 1968, I was certain that medical use of the plant would be legal within five years. This is, after all, a medicinal plant for which no fatal dose has ever been established and that has been used in folk medicine for millennia." ~ Dr. Andrew Weil Stop The Federal War On Medical Marijuana June 6, 2002 in the San Francisco Chronicle
"There is a point at which the law becomes immoral and unethical. That point is reached when it becomes a cloak for the cowardice that dares not stand up against blatant violations of justice. A state that supresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law." - Kurt Huber, [The head of White Rose], killed by the Nazis in 1943. Marc Emery Open Thread DWR Prince of Pot’s Sentence Reeks of Injustice and Mocks Our Sovereignty Ian Mulgrew, Vancouver Sun Emery’s Jail Term Longer Than for Some Violent Crimes [...] It is a legal tragedy that in my opinion marks the capitulation of our sovereignty and underscores the hypocrisy around cannabis. [...] He is being handed over to a foreign government for an activity we are loath to prosecute because we don’t think selling seeds is a major problem. [...] “There isn’t a single victim in my case, no one who can stand up and say, ‘I was hurt by Marc Emery.’ No one.” He’s right again. Emery is facing more jail time than corporate criminals who defraud widows and orphans and longer incarceration than violent offenders who leave their victims dead or in wheelchairs. Whatever else you may think of him — and I know he rankles many — what is happening to him today mocks our independence and our ideal of justice. continued... And we have Karen Tandy’s own words to prove it. DEA's Karen Tandy LTE Apr 01, 2006 A Drug Warmongers Toll on the Americas DEA Release Admits Marc Emery Extradition Politically Motivated The US Drug Enforcement Administration admitted on the day of Marc Emery's arrest that his investigation and extradition were politically motivated, designed to target the Marijuana Legalization organization that Emery spearheaded and ran for over a decade in Canada. Jodie Emery Speaks Out on Her Husband's Imprisonment Jodie Emery, Publisher and Editor of Cannabis Culture, hits the television airwaves to demand freedom for her husband Marc Emery, who was imprisoned yesterday for selling marijuana seeds. Damn Them All by Loretta Nall Yesterday my close friend and mentor Marc Emery was taken into custody in Vancouver, British Columbia to await extradition to the US for selling pot seeds over the internet from Canada. ~ Jodie Emery U.S. DEA Finally Gets Its Man by Paul Armentano Just over four years ago, former U.S. DEA administrator Karen Tandy announced to the world that her agency had struck “a significant blow … to the marijuana legalization movement” by indicting Canada’s so-called ‘Prince of Pot,’ Marc Emery. [...] But lets not kid ourselves. Marc Emery was hardly a high level target because he sold marijuana seeds to the U.S. — a simple google search will yield dozens of listings of competitors that presently engage in similar activities. No, it wasn’t so much what Marc did [...] as it was what he did with his money that aroused the ire of U.S. anti-drug officials.

U2b It’s all how you report it by Pete Guither A couple days ago, I gave you a bunch of links about the drug policy conference held in El Paso last week. With the last minute dropouts of the Drug Czar and the Border Czar, the conference had turned into a predominately reform-minded group, including LEAP, SSDP, local officials, and others, with admittedly varied views on the degree of reform, with the exception of one DEA rep. continued... This article gave some sense of that…
Pathetic The Coalition for a Drug Free California had a daylong conference to discuss how to stop marijuana dispensaries. Or don't even bother to report it... Don't even recognize Ganjawar PoW's exist. Refugees flee from barbaric US authoritah, caging the sick and their health care providers. Canada ain't so quick to take them in like the draft dodgers. Stands by mum, snatching them from their hospital beds to extradite to jails in the states. For treating their illness or growing some plants, proven less harmful than what is legal. Vast Right Wingnut Reefer Worriers, Mad with intentions, get more favorable press from the, ah, "liberal" media. Banning research, commercials and ONDCP gag orders might be a hint. Coincidence this war pays so much. Corporate holdings in competition would never slant a free press to side with gobbledegook. Yet they do. For if they don't it might harm the message to the kids they hide behind like cowards.

Between 1969 and 1977, government appointed commissions in Canada, England, Australia, and the Netherlands issued reports that agreed with the Shafer Commission's conclusions. All found that marijuana's dangers had been greatly exaggerated. All urged lawmakers to drastically reduce penalties for marijuana possession, or eliminate them altogether.
