You see, Marc Emery realized he could profit years ago by selling contraband, and by selling that contraband he could eventually legalize it. No we’re not talking about selling weed here, or even seeds…what Emery started doing was selling literature about weed. Of course that shit sold like hot cakes…why? Because it was prohibited just like marijuana seeds, which Emery began selling only after he completely changed the face of Canada’s weed politics and embarrassed the Bush administration by criticizing the failing War on Drugs.
Emery wasn’t necessarily selling books and eventually seeds just to make a profit, he was selling to make a point and to fuel his activism as Marc Emery is the Jack Herer of Canada. If you don’t know anything about weed, then that name probably doesn’t mean shit to you. But, before Emery spouted off you couldn’t even buy a High Times magazine in Canada…now you can buy his seeds.
“My husband committed a crime punishable by only a $200 fine in Canada, yet this Conservative government is sending him to serve up to 25 years in U.S. jail,” she said in the Canadian press release Thursday morning. “I promise you, Stephen Harper, we will hound you until you are nothing but an unpleasant memory.”
Emery arrived in Seattle this morning, Thursday May 20, 2010 in the custody of U.S. marshals. He’ll appear before a judge later today and is scheduled to plead guilty on Monday.
Emery’s attorney says Emery will plead guilty to one county of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana in exchange for an agreed sentence of five years in prison.
Global rallies in opposition to Emery’s extradition are scheduled to take May 22, 2010, with Vancouver’s rally taking place in Victory Square, and the US Consulate in Toronto. Worldwide Rallies for Marc Emery are being planned all across the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Australia and Europe. CLICK to see if your city is on the list and make your voice heard.
