• Marijuana Activist Marc Emery’s Wife Thanks Supporters

    Marc Emery, a marijuana activist from Canada is now serving his tenth month in prison. He was sentenced to a five-year imprisonment for selling marijuana seeds to U.S. customers through mail order. He’s currently in a prison in Georgia.


    According to his wife, Jodie Emery, her husband should have been charged in Canada instead of sending him to U.S. In fact, Marc has paid an income tax for his seeds sale to the Canadian government which was more than $580,000.



    Jodie visited her husband on December 18 and 19. She said that she’s so thankful for the support of marijuana advocates around the world for her jailed husband. She added that her husband is always so positive, though Marc Emery said that he cries whenever he thinks of her. Jodie said that Marc keeps himself busy by reading the mails sent to him by supporters. He receives lots of mails and every time he receives them, the inmates chant “Free Marc! Free Marc!”


    The website freemarc.ca has been a tool to help the Emery’s collect funds to pay for the legal team that is working to successfully bring Marc back to his country. They have collected more than $20,000 through the worldwide fundraising campaign. Now, the Canadian transfer application is being processed and the decision by the U.S. may be out by February. Hopefully, if approved, Marc will return to Canada where he will serve the rest of his sentence.


    Once back in Canada, Marc Emery can apply for day parole and In September 2011, he can apply for a full parole.

      The general public is apprehensive and scared as to making marijuana legal and freely available. It is not much different than other events in history such as apartheid in South Africa, or prohibition in the USA years ago. Enormous fear was present and no one could predict what would happen when making the right decision. Will riots break out into the street, will my children be injured or killed, will I need to protect my family form this unknown? Will I…
      Both sides of this issue truly believe that they are doing the right thing. That point needs to be made regardless of what is right or wrong. I believe that legalizing marijuana would not bring down our modern society; however I believe that society might benefit from being a little less stiff and loosen up. No different than the 50’s when the bread winner (No offence to our ladies) came come and a drink was waiting.
      Education, and help from the government to create a structure to ensure the general public that legalizing marijuana will not get out of control and reduce the overall uncertainty. If you want to make a change, one needs to be a lobbyist, and work with the government, as painful as I know it would be, in order to legalize marijuana. Sorry, but smoking a big fat splif at the Parliament buildings in Ottawa will absolutely get attention, but unfortunately gives the incorrect overall impression of marijuana users. This makes us all unpredictable, defiant, and a little crazy. These display an attitude of no respect for authority, not the right kind of press. If your kids acted this way to you, what would you do? I know it is not like this.
      The public will not accept it unless it is eased in slowly, with no shock to the system. Show the Government how much money it will make them and how the revenue will solve our medical system, and it will be legal in a heart beat!
      Thanks Marc for all your work.

      Thanks Marc, for volunteering for prison. Now your business can stop ripping off American seed customers by sending or not sending bogus/dead seeds and stealing their money....... The U.S. doesn't get much right these days but putting this self-promoting asshole in jail might serve a better purpose: Another rip off seed vendor out of the seed business.

      deport gw bush to the Hague for war crimes if we can bust Marc for not violating crimes in his own nation. Prezidenchal stashface bush and his dirty homeland garbage is responsible for this ugly stealing of this honest man. So, he sold seeds? so does every greenhouse in america. Most of his money went to support political causes that pukes like the dea don't like... that and only that is why he had to be imprisoned.

      Free Marc Emory NOW!

      wow
      some just refuse to bother getting educated
      they cant add

      35,000 a month for the prime pimple of pot and 40,000 a month for his rag or catalog holder...cannabis culture magazine adds up to just about a million a year ...and very little given yearly when you actually know the facts

      some of you are an embarrassment and clueless

      you are falling for the story fabricated after the fact...he deserves more than 5 years and put himself in jail
      had he fought and actually extradited some would care

      they dont now and quite rightly
