Marc is going back to jail...

Along time ago we had no rights that today people take so easily for granted, to find a Bong was a treasure because the Law made these simple items contraband and you only had rolling papers and your own creativity. It was people like Marc Emery who is the frontier of these times that people so easily take for granted simply do not think of and the fact that it is possible to go backwards once more and lose what precious freedoms we’ve gained this far.

People like Marc Emery come only once in a rare lifetime to be able to see the world and effectively make changes in areas that help causes and has shown to be an amazing motivator, while sharing us knowledge, enough for us all who sat in our closets in fear of our Government while he taught, “You are not alone, Knowledge is their to defend with real truths”. So people like me and others who want to reach out and help that one person in the crowd to save someone but can’t, won’t or just don’t know how to help that person or even themselves. Marc is that one person, no matter what the criticisms out their may be, The screaming voice coming from the crowd yelling for help that everyone ignores and walks by, Marc reached out and so many others became strengthened and appeared from the crowd ready to help, when just before they stood in apprehension saying to themselves “What can I do?”

It takes that one Leader from the crowd and soon you have the movement but if that one person never steps forward then it becomes the same repetitive sad story of, what can I do and nothing gets done. Marc said I know what to do and now he’s taking the bullet for being on that front line for us and it seems to me to be pretty honorable when the funds that he received went back to our cause and has nothing to his name to show for it but our memories and how we remember him. Sure Marc might have had multiple personal reasons which gave him his push but no one can say they have reached in this country as far as Marc has for changing the many Ignorant peoples minds from old misinformation of lies to the now we know inalienable rights and truths. This Man gave it all away and is possibly about to lose many years and we will look back and see what he sacrificed just to make it so we the people don’t have to hide like we are ashamed and instead yell I am a better person because of Cannabis. I am thankful to Marc Emery who showed me I am not alone and I should not be ashamed but be proud to choose a safer healthier lifestyle from the ones that Society forces upon us by limiting us.

So when Marc does come back, hopefully; someone will stand at the front line trying to make changes on our behalf until that day and see it might take bigger shoes then they ever thought possible.

Sorry to put you way up high on that pedestal Marc but someone has to be up their or there would be no Gandhi or Luther Martin King and you have that job for our cause in this country to help take away the draconian Laws that hold us down and I hope we remember this when he comes back and we may find that after time we have already lost Marc this day forever because prison does change you on the inside and could damage our Leader.

Thanks again Marc for what you are giving up; I hope you know you did reach many and you did take away the frustrations and fears by giving us truer knowledge, a lot of us are no longer alone in our lives thinking maybe society is right and we are bad people. We all now stand a little taller because you gave us weapons of Mass Knowledge and now we can be armed with more truth than the deception imposed on us by our Governments.
Thank you and God bless you, MARC EMERY.

Sounds like an Onion headline: "Compassionate Canadian Man Jailed for helping terminally ill patients around the globe keep their medicine down, continue living. Charged also with causing smiles to break out on millions of faces simultaneously. Other charges being made up by DEA..."

Canada is afraid to accept people back?

So much love for their own laws of right I see.

i wonder why he turned himself in in the first place ?

Marc Emery is a schollar and a saint, the idea that anyone could even concider puting this man in jail is complete ludacris. marc emery has broken many barriers and accomplised much for our time. i hope that his prosecution will only bring more supporters.

It's a freakin witch hunt. I remember during the 70's the goverment sprayed a chemical called paraquat on cannibis it would supposedly get you sick if you smoked it..well........I never got sick. The goverment is screwing things up again. This is sooooo bad.

This is the letter the DEA released just after his arrest.
This proves the DEA is not interested in his selling of seeds but instead are focused on killing the legalization movement....

MARC EMERY IS A GREAT MAN.

------------------------------
"Today's DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group -- is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement. His marijuana trade and propagandist marijuana magazine have generated nearly $5 million a year in profits that bolstered his trafficking efforts, but those have gone up in smoke today. Emery and his organization had been designated as one of the Attorney General's most wanted international drug trafficking organizational targets -- one of only 46 in the world and the only one from Canada. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on."

Hey folks,
Just wanted to explain that I'll be taking this off of the 'green" page as it is defined by environmental and sustainability issues. I suggest adding this to the marijuana group. As always, stories about hemp are always welcome.

This is soo wrong. I hold a 215 card in California medical marijuana because the pain medication I used after back surgery ruined my liver. Why is this man possibly going to jail for this. I wish they would legalize it,it is safer than anything.Smoking ciggaretts KILL you and you can buy them. I just don't undserstand the goverments mind set.

Diddums.
He comitted a crime, so he deserves to be jailed like anyone else.

Political prisoner! They are hitting him because he made noise. Just like they were trailing John & Yoko.
All for DuPont and the logging industry, hemp/cannabis prohibition went into effect to eradicate hemp competition. Prohibitionist leaders were racists.
