Read my lips: IT’S A FUCKING PLANT!!!
Don’t step on the grass!!!
Wonder plant vs. booze. Guess which wins due to corporations owning government?!

minor note: the station is KIRO in Seattle, local channel 7.

Exactly.

Fuck you America. Just fuck you.

This is a goddamn travesty.

BTW, Marc, CUTE wife.

Yet ANOTHER waste of time, effort and money by the US Gov’t in a failing policy. What this article leaves out is that Marc Emery is a medical cannabis patient, and it’s very possible that he won’t survive a 5 year sentence. I suspect that he will be a hero in the pen, though, so I suspect he is in for less trouble than many others would be.

Don’t you just LOVE how they phrase things? “Manufacturing marijuana”. He’s not manufacturing ANYTHING. He’s growing a plant. He’s not refining anything, he’s selling seeds. He’s not distilling anything, taking one product (like a board) and turning it into another (like a table), or in any way doing anything that nature doesn’t do on it’s own. If ANYONE should be charged with “manufacturing marijuana” it should be God. GOD is making the drug. CHARGE GOD.

But that is the way they do things. It’s perfectly legal to be contradictory as hell and charge someone for it. In my case, it was being charged with OVER 8 ounces and UNDER 8 ounces. That way they could screw me TWICE. Never mind that the two things are mutually exclusive, or even that the over 8 ounces was trash I hadn’t thrown out (stalks and stems from the previous years’ harvest) and had NO use as a drug or anything else. I MIGHT Have actually had 2 or 3 ounces of anything usable, but I got charged and convicted for having trash. And what did the state get for it? They got to spend at least $3,000 for cop time and the plea bargain, and my fines were $1620.00 So they LOST nearly $1400 on just MY case. Think of how many times a year they waste money on this.

Good luck, Marc. I do appreciate your attempts towards legalization. I apologize for the political bullshit my country is putting you through. I hope you can get transferred back to your own country, and leave this banana republic behind you. BTW, it’s NOT arrogant to stand up for what is right. It’s arrogant for a gov’t to continue to insist on policies that are wrong, foolish, and that the people clearly do not want to continue. You were doing nothing wrong, even if it was illegal. When a law is so obviously wrong, it is the obligation of the citizenry to work for it’s removal. It’s LONG past time we did that. May it happen before your sentence is up.

Fucking insanity.

Stupid, just stupid. How long will we continue to allow our government to waste money and hurt people like this?

The phony, endless war on drugs has ruined many people’s lives while providing police departments, lawyers, judges, the prison industry, DEA, etc., all sorts of job security, bonuses, overtime pay, ever increasing revenue & powers, their own smuggling/dealing/money-laundering opportunities, etc.!!! (And this is just the tip of the rotten, corrupt iceberg!)

There is a concerted effort by our “authorities” to get everyone thrown into “the system”, whether it be the legal system, the prison system, welfare system, etc.!

So from this story we can conclude that the US Government will not allow the people of the United Stated to peaceably change the laws of their country.

The DEA is stating that “this isn’t political” but they are specifically targeting money spent on completely above-board legalization efforts. Moreover the “crime” Mr Emery engaged in is not a crime where he did it – meaning the US has decided that they are simply above the law. Imagine if Canada asserted the right to arrest Americans who broke Canadian law in the US. It’s exactly the same thing.

When there are no laws, or they are misapplied and not followed by those we charge to do so then we are under no moral obligation to follow any laws.

If they are typical of the corrupted U.S. power structure, they went home and snorted some coke while getting blown by hookers.

The definition of terrorism is trying to make political or social change through fear intimidation and terror what you can not achieve through lawful constitutional means.

The people of America are ready to lawfully and legally approve the use of marijuana but the DEA and other Feds are using fear and intimidation on people like Marc Emery and Barry Cooper tos top the lawful and legal use of marijuana!

I think that qualifies as terrorism!

Well said!!!

Downsize the DEA — Legalize Hemp

According to the article the charge was conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

The charge is political even though it doesn’t read like one. The reason I say political is conspiracy charges are mainly bs charges.

The following is an example of a bs conspiracy charge: Frank Zappa a musician bought a studio. An anonymous informer claimed porn was being produced at Zappa’s studio. An undercover officer wanted to buy porn from Zappa. So as a joke Zappa made an audio tape of a couple having orgasm. The Law knowing that a charge against Zappa couldn’t be made because the tape was a joke, they decided to hit him with “conspiracy”. What a conspiracy charge means is that even if the tape was a joke you were still trying to deliver porn because that is what the undercover was asking for. I don’t understand why it wasn’t considered entrapment. Anyway Zappa spend 90 days in jail.

Our government is total bs at times.

While poor Americans keep paying taxes for this bogus ‘war on drugs’, the drug kingpins get richer and so do the US civil servants who are getting backhanders to turn a blind eye.Total waste of time and that this guy is in prison is a travesty.

I DID say “fuck you” to America years ago. Haven’t set foot back in the country in years and don’t ever plan on doing again. A dying country with archaic puritan laws the corrupt politicians and corporations are keeping on the books to serve their own fucked up and corrupt needs. I tell every American I meet, get the hell out of America while you can. Half of the rest of the world is miles better.

“In a press release lauding the government’s efforts, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) declared a significant victory in the battle against marijuana legalization efforts.”

This statement makes clear that emery is now a political prisoner. And it also confirms that the DEA has declared war on the people that support marijuana legalization. The DEA didn’t arrest this guy simply for selling illegal marijuana seeds, no, as stated, they considered his conviction a “significant victory” in what they’ve classified as a “battle” specifically against marijuana legalization efforts. So we have an agency of the federal govt that has openly declared war on every American that supports marijuana legalization–and these DEA baboons could care less whether it’s medicinal or not.

This is a matter that should be protested in the streets in every city of this nation.

I find it curious that the DEA would issue a press release declaring a “significant victory against legalization efforts”. WTF? Doesn’t the DEA serve the will of the people? If legalization is the people’s will, so be it; what business does a government agency have in taking a stand on what the people want either way (unless it’s self-preservation). IMHO they should issue a retraction of this statement.

Let’s not forget Obama could pardon him tomorrow. Could but won’t. Looks like the Green Party are the only ones left that represent my family values…..you know, sanity and stability.

This statement from the alternate reality of the DEA is just precious:

“Emery is paying the price for being part of the illegal drug trade that damages lives, homes and the environment.”"

Ooooh, I feel safer now.

Do you have an extra bedroom?

Dear Treasonous DEA, one word for you motherfuckers: HEROIN

How dare they try to legalize pot! Damn, I need a drink to settle my nerves. WAITRESS!

Dear Treasonous Justice Deptartment, two words for you shit heals: Jury Nullification

What a fucking joke. 5 years for selling pot seeds.
Bush, Cheney and Obama murder millions and they get away with it.

Oh, but ten full grown men busting down a door in full armor with weapons drawn does no harm to the children whatsoever? Dirty bastards!

The worst thing about this episode is the statements by U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan:
“Marc Emery decided that U.S. laws did not apply to him, but he was wrong,” He was in Canada!
“Emery put his personal profits above the law.” Shut down EVERY AMERICAN CORPORATION!
“He sold to anyone who would pay him — with no regard for the age or criminal activities of his customers.” Well, that’s just capitalism…
“Now, Emery is paying the price for being part of the illegal drug trade that damages lives, homes and the environment.” The only non-negligible damage to life, home, and environment COMES FROM YOU ARRESTING PEOPLE AND FORCING GROW OPERATIONS INTO HIDING.

Let’s go to the root of the problem. What gave the so called Founding Fathers the authority to create a government in the first place? If I have no authority over you as a flesh and blood human being, and you have no god given or natural born authority over me, and no one else has any natural born authority over each other, then how did two Founders combine their “non existant” authority and create this mess in the first place?

Sure, this guy gets 5 years for selling pot seeds and Bush/Cheney/Rove are still not in prison for doing more to hurt the USA than BinLadin did.

He gets five years and Bush/Cheney get off scot free and get praised to boot. No wonder this country is so fucked up.

keep banging the rocks together

someday you may discover human intelligence

in the meantime just keep banging the rocks together

The USA is a war criminal country. It gives longer sentences to a guy who sells plant seeds than to US soldiers who rape and kill innocent women or torture people. America is going to experience its karma, and that will be sad for good and bad Americans alike. It is sad to see such a powerful country act so badly.

We live in opposite land! This guy is going to jail… But rob the U.S. treasury on live TV… Start illegal wars… torture… That’s OK…

I think you have two seperate issues here. Mr. Emery is a criminal and I am surprised he didn’t get a heavier sentence. People who are pro-pot are promoting their own addiction to others. Pro pot people, again, support the contraband trade of marijuana in trade for coke, crystal meth, heroin and other hard dope. This trading by violent dope dealers eliminates the cash trail. Again pot smokers tend to repeat themselves in conversation, they become paranoid in everday situations, they are sarcastic because they are experiencing a ‘warped’ sense of reality. Their temporary euphoria or numbing effect after smoking the crap takes them away from their everyday obligation to think clearly. In effect they are in a state of alzeimhers. I know people who are addicted and they deny it. They have to have the crap everyday and personally I don’t like the way they present themselves when they are stoned. Quit, butt out. N

I would say 5 hours in prison would have been fair. No more however.
Selling seeds….God is that the best thing the DOJ can do? What about
the men who died because BP cut corners in the Gulf of Mexico?

Fake War on Drugz™ = FAIL!

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!

More BS in the war on some drugs…

STOP THE DEA ! Created by RICHARD NIXON, this federal police agency suckles at the tit of the “War on Drugs” to the tune of $1500.00 PER SECOND. Its mission is antiquated and its methods heinous, its very existence is an insult to The 4th Amendment. How long people, how long will we allow ourselves to be abused? Write your senators and congressmen today while you’re thinking about it.

Nice authoritarian attitude you’ve got there. Too bad that it’s a FAR bigger problem than the drug use is. As to the pro pot people financing the meth, coke, etc, if it weren’t illegal it wouldn’t be doing that, would it? In fact, if it were legal, it wouldn’t be any bigger problem than alcohol, and in all estimates far less, since there aren’t the violent reactions to it that there are with alcohol.

You attitude is extremely selfish and has NO bearing on reality. You insist that YOU don’t like it when other people do it. TOO FUCKING BAD. I don’t like it when religious nut cases try and shove THEIR bullshit down MY throat. Why should I have to put up with that? But yet, you get cable tv and there are how many religious money begging channels out there? I can’t even PAY to get rid of them. I also don’t like being told by politicians who lie us into wars, cheat every chance they get, steal our rights away from us and treat us like shit that WE are the problem. WE aren’t the ones who have bankrupted this country, WE aren’t the ones who ignored over 60 warnings and got us attacked on our own soil, WE aren’t the ones who have shit all over the constitution. All we want is for authoritarian pricks like you to leave us the hell alone. We give YOU that much respect, it’s about goddamned time you learned how to return the goddamned favor.

And you know what? I don’t like the way YOU present yourself in public when you’re NOT high at all. You’re a selfish, arrogant prick who thinks that what YOU want should rule the day. Go live your life, and quit being such a goddamned judgmental asshole to everyone else. I’m more than willing to bet that I could find at least a dozen things that you do that piss me off, so grow up and realize that we ALL piss off someone somewhere. Christ pissed off the Romans so much they killed him. I don’t see you and your attitude as being much better at all.

BTW, put “alcohol” into your tirade and it will fit right in with the stupidity of this country the LAST time it did something this stupid. And isn’t it funny, how it’s having EXACTLY the same result as it did in the 30′s? You prohibitionists are complete idiots, unable to learn from an example that is within the lifetimes of many in this country. Why do you REFUSE to learn anything from history? It’s there to LEARN from. Try it, sometime. You might surprise yourself.

But somehow I doubt it.

Why not put real criminals in jail. Our streets are getting more dangerous by the day, homeless and unemployment rising and our country has to waste its time, effort and expense on a person who merely sold seeds. What a joke. Also, shame on Canada for participating in this matter, I thought your politicians were smarter than that, they must be scared of the big, bad, USA and its world wide bullying on innocents.

marijuana is not addictive, doofus.

Don’t feel lonesome. I’m a felon for seven plants–actually ten but the law only claimed 7–that yielded 87 grams of leaf (still vegging) and I paid a couple grand in fines besides the felon. And fucking Eric Prince can hide out and run off at the jibs from Dubai. Go figure.

Just another example of the US DOJ damaging its Credibility in full view of the World. RELEASE MARC EMERY NOW! This is absolutely ludicrous and the US should be FULLY ashamed of itself and I hope this bites the US in the ASS!

This is complete crap. Do you have ANY idea of what you are talking about? There aren’t FIVE people in this country, driving around, working at their jobs, taking care of kids, or relatives, or doing just about ANYTHING that AREN’T on some sort of prescription DRUGS. Legal or not, its still DRUGS and if you think POT is anything “special” you’re an idiot. The percentage of people using prescription drugs has increased so dramatically that you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who isn’t on some sort of drug. You should step back and take a look at the REAL world sometime instead of whatever world you’re living in now. People are just asking for FREEDOM OF CHOICE and to NOT be micro-managed and treated like school children when clearly they have the ability to make their own choices. This sort of thing should NOT be subject to the criminal code no matter how you look at it. Idiot.

This is a non-political prosecution only if you believe that legalization of marijuana is completely out of the question and wrong, which the DOJ and DEA pretend to do, as their funding depends on it. But soon marijuana will be legal in many states, and this will be seen as another political persecution by politically motivated, cynical operatives.
And in other news, the DEA still can’t seem to catch whoever it is who has been bringing cocaine into the airport in Melbourne, FL. Funny, huh? Guess that’s not political either.

Wow! Did you really have to drink ALL the Koolaid? Your comments were taken right from the DEA manual! what a dope…

Marc Emery is a hero who has put his ass on the line for what he believes in!

… and you?

Part of my plea bargain involved them dropping the cultivation and paraphernalia charges, so I’m only a class 6 felon. They want almost another grand to write off the felony now that it’s all done with, but at this point, what do I care? I’m a professional musician, I’ve been self employed for decades, I’m 52 years old, so only WalMart would hire me anyway, and do I want to work there? Nope. It hardly seems worth the price. I’ve already decided that I’m not going to give them another freaking penny.

My landlord also got popped. When he was being charged, one of the other guys in the holding pen with him looked at him when the cultivation charge was read and said “You’re here for being a farmer?” He had to say that yes, he was, and everyone got quite a laugh out of that. They were all there for violence, robbery, drugs of some kind, and he’s there for gardening. I tried to make that point in the “anger management” classes they made me take, and all the guys there, who were there for fighting, spouse abuse, etc, all thought it was pretty stupid, but that if the private probation company wanted your money, they would figure out how to get it.

Hang in there, it won’t be long before it will be legal, and people will laugh about these “felonies”. We just can’t afford to keep fucking people over when they lose money every time. We’re destroying our country with this nonsense.

I’m done. Mine happened eight years ago. And now I’m an authorized medical cannabis patient. And growing my own medicine. Purple Kush. Ummmmmmmmmmm!!!

The government looks ridiculous.

wow…i feel so much safer now…

wow…i feel so much safer now…

Another political prisoner of the USA Empire. Gotta protect those illegal drug profits for the banksters.

Fuck the US Government and their DEA both are about as honest as a Repigliklann Doofus Bastard on Crack…

I along with a lot of other expats will do all I possibly can to see the law changed and the records of all those who have been incarcerated by these Nazi sons of bitches. The US Government has been leading a strawman all these decades just to prevent those of a different race from becoming normal citizens.

It has gotten to the point where I despise the country of my birth and it’s knuckle dragging religious bigots and fundies. If the country fell thru it’s ass tomorrow it would be decades too late…

I am personally content that I am a French National today, we may not have all the hoopla that goes on int Cracker Country, but we sure as hell are a lot better off in the human rights department and the humanity one also..

I feel so much safer now. But I understand that Tommy Chong is out on the streets again!

Ah fuck. And the crazy scumbag florida pastor that was going to “light” up WW3 gets squat. Possibly, “socialist” Obama will “pardon” him.

Let’s not forget that Obama’s VP (Biden) made this possible through his legislative efforts, and that the prez has nominated a director for the agency who raids suppliers of medical marijuana.

Scumbags all.

“yep, can’t have those rythm and blues toe-tappers tainting our women and our pinkness” … this is the origin of america’s anti-herb laws …

Precisely.

The DEA doesn’t want marijuana legalized?

Why do they care?

The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along, paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.

The traditional and obvious ways of controlling people in every society, whether it’s a military dictatorship or a democracy, is to frighten them. If people are frightened, they’ll be willing cede authority to their superiors who will protect them: “OK, I’ll let you run my life in order to protect me.”

You have to carry out measures to insure that they remain passive and apathetic and obedient, and don’t interfere with privilege or power.

FREE MARC EMERY

nuff said…

“I think you have two seperate issues here. Mr. Emery is a criminal and I am surprised he didn’t get a heavier sentence. People who are pro-pot are promoting their own addiction to others.”

The only issues I see here is the fact that you cannot spell, nor can you show any proof in either of the statement above or the one below. There has NEVER been a proven case of cannabis addiction in the history of the plant. It is not addictive I know for a medical fact and if you were able to read you would know also. You lad/lass are a dupe of the reich wing idiots who have absolutely no credibility in the world today!

“Pro pot people, again, support the contraband trade of marijuana in trade for coke, crystal meth, heroin and other hard dope.”

This is a bald faced lie! I have been using cannabis for over 50 years and never have I had a desire to use cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, opium or any other narcotic. I do not “use” alcohol either. Almost all my friends partake in some form of cannabis use. Not all smoke it, some make teas or beverages, other use it in cooking. All delight in it and none have a withdrawel problem when it isn’t available. None of these people i know are using the hard drugs either.. Must be a problem with the kind of people you hang out with, hmmmmmm….

I have seen what alcohol does at parties, and other places where too much is consumed and have seen the violence that it brings out in normally pacific people. I have been to parties where too much pot was smoked by some, and all I have ever seen is a great case of the munchies, a lot of laughter and some oooohs and aaaaahs at lights or other things that psychedelics can bring on. Never once have I even seen an argument at one of these gatherings, but then I am a marijuana user… A doper, who knows that when I am stoned that my reaction times are off and have enough sense not to drive or be out in public where I can be busted… I guess that old addage of “No Brain, No Pain” really applies to those of your caliberr….

Just this old Chief’s 2 cents

What about the Ocean that was killed along with it’s critters, and the lively hood of all who depended on the Gulf of Mexico for its fish, its other seafoods and its destination as a tourist mecca? Talk about crimes against humanity, we are killing ourselves and no one cares…. God Damn the United States you murdering hyenas. Your leaders should be standing in world courts right now awaiting trial for war crimes and crimes against not only humanity but the entire life of the world… Haven’t you killed enough already????

I like your statement!!! And about the Charge of “Conspiracy to Manufacture marijuana”, what I would like to know is….. How in the fuck do you Manufacture marijuana???? Shouldn’t they be indicting their “Gawd”? I thought that the Good Book that these crazy fucks believe in sez that gawd created all the animules, and critters and plants and stuffs…

So what they are saying is that their Gawd is a criminal?????? Just wonderin’

$$$

Stupid “justice” system.

Legalize it you assholes. We gotta kick the squares out of power guys… lol like that’s ever going to happen.

Ridiculous. It’s not a drug. This sounds like something the Chinese or Koreans would do.

Another great triumph for the Department of Injustice that ranks with the imprisonment of Catholic nuns for damaging a Titan missile silo. No one can manufacture marijuana or any other form of life, plant, fungus, or animal.

I’m a 60 year old who enjoys occasional weed. This drug is harmless; nobody should go to jail unless they drive a car and injure someone. I like Indica strains and the deep physical relaxation they provide. We need more people to enjoy it in a mature manner. We need to vote out hardass right wingers and vote in peace loving herb tolerant people. This government is a shambles; bankrupt, warmongering and illegitimate. Get off our back.

Marijuana is not intrinsically bad, the fact that it’s illegal makes it ‘appear’ that it could send you to jail or cost you a job.

Another victimless crime.

What?

Now that rant was just plain ignorant. You know nothing.

Well, what have you done today?

Ummm how can he be described as “one of the country’s “most wanted drug trafficking targets,”" – I have never heard it suggested that he murdered competitors, ran a gang, threatened life, etc. This whole ‘war’ on drugs’ is getting %^$& rediculous. Shit peeps get less time for rape.

It is clear that the majority of Americans have lost any control over their government in any real sense.

LOL go after BP rather than a seller of seeds? You gotta be kidding – who do you think pays our wages.

Funny that hemp oil would be a direct competitor to the crap BP let loose in our oceans.

Sooooooo sick of the war on drugs and the militancy of our police forces that it has supported.

Ummm normally I like to make intelligent comments. But to yours all I can say is…..

F*CK OFF!!!! You troll.

makes fuckin sick the the us government allows any fuckin retard to own a gun, but pot seeds? wtf.you would think they have bigger fish to fry,like the fuckin governmemt going broke trillons in debt with no hope of paying it off, millions out work,bible thumping fuckin idoits

Alas that would involve actually enforcing laws and that went out the window decades ago – these days starting wars, assassinating people, kidnapping and torture are just things you get to do in the public service.

Sounds like a HIT put on this guy for exercising his freedom of speech.

Make no mistake, the DEA is a pack of criminal hyenas. When pot is legalized, we need to go after them personally and hold them to account, by any lawful means possible.

They KNOW what they are doing is wrong. And “only following orders” is NOT a defense.

The CIA operates with impunity.

You are SUCH a tool. And a really dull, obtuse tool at that.

ARE you insane? do you think with ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO.

He is one STUPID, dull little fascist tool.

Problem is his crime wasnt worth enough money and he obviously has no political backers – now if he was selling weapons to the contras or torturing some kid we kidnapped from a foreign country, thats a totally pardonable offense.

Worked on a Sunday (selling alcohol ;), came home had a few beers and wished I had some pot.

You know democracy is dead in the USA when the government consistently acts against the wishes of the majority of it’s people. Heh Obama. No better than Reagan.

=== popurls.com === popular today…

yeah! this story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…

Well….you can put Marc Emery in jail; but you sure are late doing it.

Mr. Emery was by far the most prolific legalization person I am ever aware of. He was loud and in your face…and never backed down. Sure, he’s in prison now…but the seeds of his ideas are flowering all across the United States & Canada….all over the world, really.

God Bless Marc Emery~ the TRUE ‘Prince of Pot.’

Wow, thats messed up dude, give the dude a break

http://www.real-anonymity.es.tc

Bush Cheney and Obama are responsible for the death of over a million in the Middle East. Obama continues with the killing so he is a war criminal too.

this is a total waste of time and taxpayer money. the drug war will never be won, it justs waists billions of our dollars and puts non violent people in jail which are usually turned into real criminals inside the jail. how smart is this?

this is a total waste of time and taxpayer money. the drug war will never be won, it justs waists billions of our dollars and puts non violent people in jail which are usually turned into real criminals inside the jail. how smart is this?

What a TOTAL WASTE of law enforcement resources and valuable court time!

FREEDOM, isn’t so Free, is it?

We are so upside down in our values, it’s pathetic!

A call to Arms, get out in California and use your arms to pull the lever for legalization!

And you’d have to be a brain dead MORON to vote Rethugs back in Power!

Fascism in America, his crime was to speak up

The War on Drugs; destroying money, lives and liberties since 1973.

What about all the illegal activities of the US politician’s that have destroyed a far greater amount of lives?

I think this comic sums it all up nicely http://morningsquirtz.com/recreational_drugs.html

no violent offenders are still criminals

agreed lol.

weed legalization should NOT be left to state choice, it should be federal. do you have any idea whats gonna happen when california legalizes it? it’ll be 10x easier to get nationwide and there will be 10x more of it. it’ll be come california’s to export

Never in a thousand years would I do drugs…I even hate drinking. But why the hell are people so afraid of them? I don’t understand the attitude. If alcohol, nicotine/tobacco and saturated fat are all legal, then so should all such drugs. Let the people decide to ruin their own pathetic lives if they want to…

What a joke. The DEA represents themselves, with no account for what the people want, they assume they are the only entity whose opinion matters. It’s going to go legal in CA and these fools are going to be sitting in their office trying to think of another way to screw the general public against their democratic choice. How about stopping the flow of cocaine through our border through corrupt patrol, or how about stopping the flow of heroin from a war occupied country instead of allowing the exports to double? Those are tasks that are plausible and realistic and would have a huge affect on society. THOSE are the substances that affect the lives and homes of America. HOW and why did they eradicate Meth so quickly yet they won’t do the same with other hard drugs that are much easier to track in bulk? Because it’s produced within so you can’t get the kickbacks that you do from cocaine and opium across a border. Wake up America, the joke is on you! The DEA does more to keep hard drugs on the street than to keep them off. They are far more concerned about cannabis.

And what has this guy done that has hurt anyone? Selling seeds is 5 years in prison? People get 5 years in prison for sex offense convictions. People get 5 years in prison for violent crime, and a guy selling seeds gets 5 years?

There has to be a political angle to this.

you’re a fucking retard.

There is no reason whatsoever to lock this man up. He’s provided a valuable service for years. How I hate this reefer madness government of ours.

Great medicinal Marijuana comic featuring tweety and granny http://www.morningsquirtz.com/grannys_prescription.html

That’s a bad thing?

Nancy Reagan? Is that you?

Political prisoner Marc Emery’s crime was to keep Madame Secretary Clinton’s promise to Calderon. Emery sold seed to American farmers, reducing U. S. demand for Mexican pot. Rooting out the number-one cash crop in the land burns tax dollars instead of booking them. Arresting Americans for gardening empowers outlaws to take over Mexico. Prison flushes lives down expensive tubes, paid for by our descendants. My shaman’s second opinion is that psychoactive plants are God’s gift. Behold, it’s all good. When Eve ate the apple, she knew a good apple, and evil prohibition. The DEA says, “We don’t need no stinking amendment.”

Gov’t drug regulation is under the foreign commerce clause.
The Declaration of Independence is the organic law of the land and its main tenet is that “all men are created equal”. Under such a tenet no person or group, including some group called gov’t, may ever initiate force against any other person or group. This is the basis of individual sovereignty. The Constitution was adopted to form a gov’t that would uphold this tenet.
The Constitution acknowledges this where in Article I, section 8 it grants the gov’t jurisdiction over foreign commerce, interstate commerce, and trade with the Indians. The gov’t has no jurisdiction over intrastate commerce since the law is based upon the tenet that “all men are created equal”. The individual is sovereign, not the gov’t. – see United States v. Lee, Hale v. Henkle, Julliard v. Greenman, Chisholm v. Georgia.
The FED bankrupted the gov’t in the 1930′s. This is evidenced by the correlation between the United States Code (USC) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR): title 11 USC, “Bankruptcy”, is implemented by title 11 CFR, “Federal Elections”. Our vote is simply to elect a bankruptcy “administration”.
However, bankrupting the federal gov’t wasn’t enough to make Americans pay the interest on the FED’s loans to the gov’t. because sovereignty lies with the individual American.
To get around all of the chains that the Constitution imposes on the gov’t, Social Security was created to destroy American sovereignty. The “Form SS-5″ that an applicant uses to apply for a S.S.# is a federal employment form. The federal employee is the “taxpayer”. “Taxpayer” is a legal term defined at 26 CFR 2.1-1(a)(5) as a member of the Merchant Marine – a federal employee. 26 CFR 2.1-1(b) states that this is the definition of the term as used throughout the Code and the regulations for all calculation of taxes.
The gov’t has been given jurisdiction over its possessions by Article IV, section 3 of the Constitution. By checking the box “U.S. citizen” on the “Form SS-5″ the applicant has given the gov’t prima facie evidence that he has U.S. possession citizenship. “U.S. citizen” is also a legal term exemplified at 26 CFR 25.2501-1(c) as a person born in one of the States who then establishes a residence in a U.S. possession and, further, acquires U.S. possession citizenship. This regulation then references back to 26 USC sec. 2501(b) where it states that this is the definition of the term “citizen” “wherever used in the title”. The U.S. possessions are treated as foreign countries (see 26 USC sec. 865(i)(3), 872(b)(7), and 2014(g) for example). This makes a “U.S. citizen” a foreigner in relation to America. This is the 14th Amendment citizen.
The combination of the legal terms “taxpayer” and “U.S. citizen” is known as the legal term “U.S. resident” at 26 USC sec. 865(g). A “U.S. resident” is a “U.S citizen” living in America – a foreigner.
So by applying for a S.S.# an American has given away all sovereignty and become a slave to the federal gov’t.
All of this evidences that the owners of the gov’t are quite aware of its limited jurisdiction, but they have absolutely no regard for freedom.
The federal gov’t is legislating today on two main premises – under foreign commerce and that everyone is a federal employee.
Since one becomes a “taxpayer” by applying for a S.S.#, that person is now subject to the income tax.
The income tax was ruled to be constitutional in several U.S. Supreme Court decisions – see Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., Stanton v. Baltic Mining, Peck & Co. v. Lowe, Eisner v. Macomber. These Supreme Court decisions stated that the gov’t always had the power to tax income and, further, that no new power of taxation was granted to the federal gov’t by the 16th Amendment. In other words, the income being taxed must be within the limited jurisdiction of the federal gov’t to begin with since no new power was granted to the federal gov’t.
The 3 commerce jurisdictions are cited separately in title 28 USC, “Judiciary and Judicial Procedure”, chapter 85, “District Courts; Jurisdiction”. Section 1336, “Surface Board Transportation Orders”, which was renamed from “Interstate Commerce Commission’s Orders” in late 1995, is the interstate commerce jurisdiction. Section 1362, “Indian Tribes”, is the trade with the Indians commerce jurisdiction. Section 1340, “Internal revenue; customs duties”, is the foreign commerce jurisdiction.
Now the federal gov’t and its owners have an unlimited reservoir of revenue from the “taxpayers” that can be used to expand the gov’t’s apparent powers.
Marijuana laws, like all the drug and medicine laws, are within the internal revenue laws and, therefore, based upon foreign commerce (see http://wp.me/pCW6e-4M for the actual statutes). Abolish Social Security and free America.
I have evidenced the entire Social Security Scam on my Blog at LLSTULER.wordpress.com.

As far as I’m concerned he should never have been handed over to US officials. I have yet to see a fair trial from American courts. In fact I don’t think such a thing is actually possible the way they’ve set up their legal structure. That by itself is enough to prohibit the extradition of Canadians or others into the jurisdiction of American authorities. The DEA says it all when they applaud cutting off the source of funds for lobbying for legalization. This is a political prosecution not a criminal one!

Were are all you less government, teabag types on this horrible miscarriage of justice. Government is the problem. Stay the hell out of our lifes. And that includes, end of life issues, a women right to chose, and anything else that is not your business.

And the problem is……………

Personally, I don’t use the stuff — but I see the industrial uses as a big positive issue and the US Govt obviously has an agenda running contrary to common sense. Big surprise. And a “conspiracy” charge is the claim used when the government has noting else because even a conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony. Bizzare, eh?
I can show much greater miscarriages of Justice within the US from the Irwin Schiff case to the Liberty-Dollar (both absolutely fascinating).

All of this contraversy over something so petty. Shouldn’t WE as the taxpayers in the United States have a say so on how our tax dollars get spent? I’m pretty sure if I was given a choice on whether I thought I should pay for housing a prisoner, it wouldn’t be the man selling pot seeds. There are so many other things wrong with this country, OUR country and we look the other way or put it on the back burner. Why? Because we are to busy putting our noses where it doesn’t belong. If Canada thought this man was a “threat to society” then they would have done something about it. What gives the U.S. government the right? We have homeless veterans, men, women and children and we are doing nothing about it. We have spent more money than anyone will ever imagine on this damn war overseas. War? Is that what it really is? Im pretty sure in WWI and WWII we didn’t go shooting at people and then send them bandaids to fix it all up. Could you imagine if this country had all the money that the government needlessly threw away? We would never have to worry about paying taxes or running out of social security funds. We elect officials that are supposed to speak for the people, I don’t remember anyone consulting me about any of this. I believe WE as the PEOPLE need to rethink our situation and fix it. Marc Emery should be left alone and free to go home.
