Marc Emery, the West Coast marijuana advocate who faces a possible life sentence in America for opening a mail-order marijuana seed business out of his Vancouver headquarters. The Canadians are so angered by their own government for even considering extraditing emery over to the US to spend life in prison. His case settled to keep him in canada but now it is a different story. Not only the marijuana community, but the public as well is outraged. Many are against Emery due to the common brainwashed public believing marijuana to be a dangerous drug. They believe he is an evil man dealing drugs so they want the worst punishment for him.

Earlier this year Emery was able to arrange a plea bargain with U.S. prosecutors that would see him accept a 10-year sentence on their charges, of which he would serve half. Under the deal his co-accused colleagues would go free and Emery would serve the first 45 days of his sentence in the U.S., after which he would be returned to Canada to finish his stretch in a more comfortable Canadian prison.

All that was needed was the agreement of Canada’s department of justice. But last week, after a month of pessimistic media reports, they gave a final “No.” America insisted on the guarantee that Emery will have to serve his time in US Federal prisons. Why can’t the Canadians just arrest, and try Emery them selves in their own courts?

Its just horrible to see a country dictate another country. I believe it is best for Canada to rule under their own power instead of being bossed by the world police, the US. Emery’s sale of seeds also funded the Canadian government by sales tax, and also was allowed by Health Canada. The Canadian government had no problem with Emery’s seed business. As soon as America comes in the picture it is a different story. He shouldn’t be extradited to America, he should be tried in his own country.
