Marc Emery... what a fucking outrage

forgive me if this has been posted already but what a fucking outrage. Heres the situation:
marc emery is canadas most prominent marijuana activist (law reform etc) and a distributer of seeds to "compassion clubs" (medicinal marijuana user groups).
He was recently slammed on a "marijuana conspiracy" charge, and heres the crazy part: they are "extraditing" him to the united states to be charged under american law, even though we was born and raised in canada and is a canadian citizen. They are doing this because he was a shit distruber for justice. But think about the precedent.
They are sending him to the states for trial because he can face harsher penalties there and they want to make an example of him. How is this any more legal than, say, if we were to send him to algeria or some shit where he could legally get his hands cut off?
anyways, im pissed off. heres a link about his sterling career and history: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/2644.html
and heres one about his bust: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/P...orce_login=true
write the president, the prime minister and everybody else. stage rallies and put up posters.
Please...
hehe. whatever. better him than us. lets all go get baked.

Canada has agreements that someone cannot assist in the violation of US law from the saftey of Canada and the US follows the same rule. There is good reason for that rule...although this is not one of them.

I don't think "they" are sending him to the US to be charged more harshly; rather, the US itself is trying to pull him here because Canadian marijuana laws are a joke.

If you really believe more lienient marijuana laws are a joke, and the absurdly harsh marijuana laws of the U.S. are just... why are you a member here?

He just needs justice. If he's found innocent, so be it, but if he's found guilty, he should be judged accordingly. The US is far superior for judging than Canada is for marijuana laws, so it'd almost be unjust to keep him in Canada.

"what he needs is justice"
just wait until its you whose lifestyle has been judged illegal. if what the U.S calls justice is really justice, than people need it about as much as they need cancer.
think for a second man. do you really think selling plant seeds as medicine to terminally sick humans warrants being locked in a prison for the rest of your existance?
is that justice?
hopefully that was sarcasm

the emery situation is outrageous. i hope the canadians view this as a wake up call, and decide once and for all that they can do better than the US government. if they kneel before the dea agents and suck their dicks on this one, who knows how far they'd be willing to go in the future.
keep marc in canada!

All I can say is Marc will forever be an Idol in the marijuana world... he will always be remembered for what he did do. I think the US is fucked up with their laws and we should all plant some seeds in memory of Marc who lost the life he knew keeping us happy

For the latest about this story check out the forums on Marc Emery's own site: http://www.cannabisculture.com/forums/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=extradite
Indeed it's an outrage. I hope more people will get the word out about this. It blows my mind how few people in America have even heard about the story. It seems the main stream media is too busy playing Weather Channel reporters to cover such little concerns as the extradition of weed smokers from across the borders.

Why would American media care about Emery? Pot smokers are usually not held in high regard by most conservative Americans; they'd probably just see him as a drug dealer trying to operate in the gray zone by selling seeds instead of the herb itself.

No argument here. But, thankfully not all Americans are conservative.
Not all the American media is conservative either ('cept FoxNews ).

Yah it's pretty fucking stupid.
However, and this might sound really insensitive, if he is sentenced to lets say LIFE IN PRISON then people will rally behind him. He will be like a martyr.
But yah it's pretty fucking stupid.

Thanks! ('always great to stop by here!)
I still check in here every once in awhile. In most of my spare time Im busy creating music.
I feel everyone here should stay up to date on Marc Emery. I mean. he was selling seeds for 11 years in the open. He paid taxes to the goverment of Canada, the people of Canada have voted time after time to legalize weed, and now the DEA storm troopers decide they can just walk over the border to drag him and some friends over to the U.S. for a crime that Canada has not enforced in many years! Marc faces ten years to life in prision for something the goverment of Canada has choose NOT to even prosecute over!
Marc did not get rich selling seeds. He rented his home and car. Marc donated almost ALL of his seed profits to fight the war on weed. The DEA has admited there glad they cut off such a major source of the money being donated to get weed legal. Just think about it- He was arrested for The United States of America with help from the goverment of Canada! Canadian cops were used to arrest a guy for America! Canada has made it clear they have NO problem with what Marc was doing.
Marc's theme has been to OUTGROW THE GOVERMENT- and I guess his idea has a lot of truth behind it. He sure got the dea's attention. I feel the DEA mainly wanted to cut off the source of money that was being gave to politicans in Canada and elsewhere. Without such money, weed may never be fully legal anywhere.
