Marc Emory comes to Windsor

I was just downtown right in front of the Police Headquarters (at the front doors, no less) smoking bud and listening to Marc Emory.
We showed up at 4pm and there was already a couple hundred people crowded around Marc in front of the cop shop. He was holding a MASSIVE joint (think Up In Smoke) and making a speech to everyone. He talked about how marijuana possession is completely legal right now in Ontario for sure and probably all of Canada. He talked about how the govt. is holding back information about cannabis. He compared it to alcohol and tobacco and talked about how bad they are in comparison.
Then right at 4:20 he fired up the big joint. I fired up one of my own that I had brought, too.
This one guy with a backpack and a bong was going through the crowd handing out Marc's flyers and giving out free tokes "compliments of Marc Emory".
We stayed almost an hour and Marc talked the whole time. He's a pretty smart guy, from what I've seen so far.
Plus he has come of the most chronic weed I've ever smoked. Maybe the best. And I'm chronic myself
The whole time cops just walked RIGHT by the crowd with their heads down. They didn't even stop to talk to anyone, tho some people tried to ask them questions.
I'll try and scan his flyer later and post it.

Marc was in Calgary recently. Only a few dozen people showed up, and Marc was arrested before he could open his mouth. After the people dissapated, he was released without charges. So I've heard.

I guess they figured "5. cannabis is not an addictive substance", sounded better than 5. cannabis is not a physically addictive substance.

Make NO mistakes Marc is as smart as a whip and has some pit bull lawdogs watching his back.He is riding a wave he created himself.I know a lot of people who say he's a rip off and a scammer.Well I have yet to see anything but a generous,kind somewhat self absorbed political tomahawk missle.Marc is great host and a cherished aquaintance but his buds are commercial grade;).What the N.Cal and Oregon reps brought to his medical conferance a couple yrs ago was blowing even some of the bubble hash away. I digress....Marc has done more for the legalization of cannabis than nearly anyone else and regardless of opinions contrary I think of him as an admirable and by and large honorable man. If you read this Marc the answer is still NO! and I'll see you this winter WR

I've wanted to meet him for a while now. I tried to hang around for a while to get to talk to him in person, but I had skipped out on work to go to the rally in the first place and I was late getting back
But yeah, he definately seems like a cool guy.

It was a bit of a rush
There was a tense moment when a prisoner transport van pulled up and the driver started eyeing the crowd. People were starting to look a little nervous when he finally got out and walked straight inside without looking at us. After that Marc fired up his big joint

I'm upset that i missed that.. I live near windsor, and had no idea he would be coming there.
Ok fine.. I needed to get some free smoke, but hey, i woulda burned with everyone in front of the pigpen too! Sounds like it helped alotta people open their eyes.
