Marc Emery Surrenders, To Face Extradition to US

[nlvigour]

Looking forward to seeing Marc a free man

Looking forward to seeing Marc a free man

Why is it that when ever I see a decrimnalization or legalization poll on the CBC, CTV, Bourque News, CNN, BBC, or any other media outlet there are more proponents in favour of a more regulated or tollerant approach to marijuana than those who favour stricter penalties.

I hope the Honorable Rob Nicholson will take the case under reconsideration as it shoud never have even proceeded this far.

Any sensible person will tell you that the laws surrounding marijuana do more harm than the substance itself.

I'm flabergasted that the legislation currently being enacted under bill C-15 was pushed through despite the opposition of constituents which parlimentarians are supposed to represent.

The extradition of Marc Emery is miscarriage of justice and reinforces the fact that elected officials are are increasinly out of touch with the electorate.

I applaud Marc for his actions, offer my condolences to his wife, and hope that people will push for the eradication of the existing and counter productive laws surrounding marijuana.

I have a sneaking suspicion that hobby gardeners; young and old will double-up their efforts and become ever unwavering in their belief that the preservation of genetic diversity the government is desperately trying eradicate will supersede any dysfunctional legislation being imposed from our elected officials.

Until next spring....

Kind Regards

It's sickning to no that the American gov is wasteing time and money on nothing.

Lets vote and see if he should go jo jail. I vote no.

 

[humboldtlocal]

No one deserves jail time for anything relating to the herb. No matter what your views of ME are I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[DankSide]

he comes off to me as a bit egomaniacal and kind of a prick, but its always sad to see a supporter get taken.

Marijuana related arrests are 100% bullshit

 

[nephilthim]

yea tax my weed so we can have more great goverment or maybe pay for the state,county,and municipalities to fuck over more people and put them behind bars.we do have to retain our position of incarcerating more people than any other western nation.

 

[SoCoMMJ]

The US government is no longer for the people... they are just there to control the people.

We lock up more of our citizens than any other country in the world. We have only 5% of the total world population, but house 25% of the world's prisoners. I think we have forgotten why this country was founded.

"Land of the Free"... What a freakin joke!

Only thing is nobody is laughing.

 

[Dirt Magirt]

I did 5 years for cultivation, I have been out for 2 and I still ain't right. It changed me in a bad way. It made me mean, I'm like a time bomb. When I was arrested I had worked at the same place for 8 years, now in the 2 years I've been out I have had probably 10 jobs. I"m a mess and they did this to me.

This is what they don't understand, you take a person that got along and never hurt anyone, put them in with killers, rapist, real criminals.... and turn them into a maniac.

It is insane.

Peace be with your friend Marc.
