What is really crazy about the US putting Marc Emery in jail is he did everything from Canada. Why are we putting him in US Federal prison? Why didn't Canada stop such bullying from the US of A.

Grow some balls Canada.

Oh, BTW, THE US GOVERNMENT has a Medical marijuana program that sells Medical marijuana to a few people. Started in 1970's. DID we forget that? Who is more guilty here??

Just shows you how stupid our legal system is here. Putting people in jail for a non violent crime is ignorant and a waste of taxpayers money.

North American police last year arrested over 800,000 people for marijuana.

Over 13 States have legalized medical marijuana and over 250 world health organizations support medical marijuana.

Marijuana is safer than alcohol.

I am very sad that Canada did not stop this extradition. If he broke the law Marc Emery should be in Canada's prison system. The US of A had to keep bullying Canada for the extradition and Canada let them win. Sad to say that Marc Emery is in Federal prison for 5 years!?!

I guess the moral of this story is to never 'heckle' the drug czar of the USA.

People who murder or rape get out quicker than 5 years sometimes. This man was charged with a non-violent crime.

Canada should keep him in Canada's Jail system.

Marc Emery is a POLITICAL prisoner. he has done more for the legalization of marijuana than anyone i can think of. US-DEA arrested him for selling cannabis seeds from canada to concenting adults around the world, there are no victims in his case. he did heckle the drug czar, the same drug czar said when we jail Marc Emery,'the POT MOVEMENT will have one less POT of MONEY.'
my opinion.

CLAIM IMMUNITY FROM EXTRADITION & the Lighter Side of Flu Vaccinations in Canada

Some people ostensibly working for the Government Of Canada see nothing wrong in turning you over to a foreign government to be tortured and jailed for the supposed "crime" of selling seeds.
