Here is the Global TV news segment about the protest on Saturday:
Marc Emery is a political prisoner, put behind bars by the Conservative government of Canada until he is handed over to American authorities to serve a 5-year prison term - all for using the funds from selling marijuana seeds to finance peaceful, democratic political groups. The US Drug Enforcement Administration admitted that it was political, as seen in the press release at www.NoExtradition.net

I'm for the freedom of Marc
I'm for the freedom of Marc but whoever made the article is bullshitting.
Marc is not a political prisoner, he broke the law abroad and is paying for it.
If he was jailed for giving his own legally hard earned money to the political groups then he is a political prisoner but he broke the law and is paying for it.
You should of never broke
You should of never broke the law in the US and only sold in Canada and then give those profits to the political groups, but you wanted to test waters in the Drug war ridden land of America and now you pay for it. Simple..
Dont be so foolish. 5 years
Dont be so foolish. 5 years for selling seeds. Of course its political. There are hundreds of other sites which sell seeds in the USA and Canada. The DEA had a bounty on Emery and came to Canada to arrest him. Read the whole story, because its too long to explain. But it is political, read about it then you will know. 5 years for selling seeds, he paid taxes for this business to the Canadian govt, and the Conservatives are going to extradite him, for selling seeds!!! If you pussies think selling seeds is a crime worth 5 years, you will beleive anything Harper says.
Your pathetic if you read
Your pathetic if you read and rethink what you posted and don't see you error.
How are you?
Well aren't you just the little hater. Are you just a blind slave to the law? If it was legal to jump off a bridge would you be behind that law? Well in the U.S.A it's totally legal to kill yourself with just about any drug that a doctor can give you. Oh, except for one that you can grow yourself cause someone wants to make money off death in this country. So if you support those laws you support evil and death with your mindless soul. And your on the wrong site go take your uneducated opinions to Obama's website and not this one. Have a great day asshole!
And he technically didn't
And he technically didn't break the law IN America... the people who purchased the seeds did, but he never sold them IN America, ya sure he sent them, but he was in Canada - you should NEVER be punished by another country for something you do in your own country. It's Canada's responsiblity to punish him if they feel neccesary, NOT the us. The US only cares about him because of the politics, so I think that makes him a political prisoner
PATHETIC
It's about time Marc Emery took some responsibility for his adult actions.
Quit it with the sniveling worm act.
What did you think was going to happen?
Your fake press conferences really suck, too.
everyone should do some reading before they insult marc's motive
marc was expecting this. he is glad to take responsibility for breaking the law but rightfully believes he should be punished in his own country. he is being punished far more severely than any other canadian seed distributor because he puts his profits into the political movement thus a political prisoner. he is being an adult, taking responsibility for his actions... he just hopes he can prove that the people are more powerful than the american government by gaining freedom via public support of both americans & canadians. he is being brave and accepting his punishment in the name of legalization.
You should change your name
You should change your name to hairy-legged Quebec "troll." Or get laid or something. You sound like a rabid, wounded man-hater.
It use to be illegal for
It use to be illegal for women to vote. It was once illegal to drink booze. It was once illegal for black people to sit in the front of the bus......It may be illegal to have seeds or leaves in your pocket, but that doesnt mean the law is right! Some laws need to be broken to change them. This law is complete bullshit, and you are saying he deserves 5 years?! You are a wimp.
It's not over by a long shot!
in 13 U.S.states I can buy med seed's easy,I planted 6 on the 28th just for mark,the Males will live to serve.keep your head up Jodie,don't be sad.For every evil action there is a positive reaction!And love always wins in the end.
the Law is wrong and America knows it.to bad the government laughs at its citizens.but we always have the last laugh and we laugh the hardest.
Free Mark,free weed,free seed's for all.

you obviously know nothing
you obviously know nothing about the extradition. get your facts straight before you start posting you stupid goof
This is how faceless,
This is how faceless, cowardly anonymous kops defend their jobs. Cowardly. Ironically it's the only way they figure out how the rest of the world really feels about the things that come out of their stupid mouths (like "should of"...(sic) get your God damn GEDs).
Don't be fooled people, the only type of person who comes into here and preaches cut-and-dry law and order are people who will have easier lives if you just shut up, and go to jail nicely without blaming them.
Then why does the US not go
Then why does the US not go after all the other seed sellers in their own country as well as europe? because those other sellers are not political figures that threaten to expose the war on drugs for the counter productive endeavor that it is
'I'm for the freedom of Marc"
Bullshitting? How do you figure?
Marc Emery was one of HUNDREDS of seed vendors selling seeds to the U.S. yet none of the other vendors are being prosecuted.
Marc is INDEED a prisoner of politics as anyone who has folowed this case already knows. Former head of the D.E.A., Karen Tandy, admitted as much in her press release when she stated-
"Today's DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group -- is a signficant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement.
His marijuana trade and propagandist marijuana magazine have generated nearly $5 million a year in profits that bolstered his trafficking efforts, but those have gone up in smoke today.
Emery and his organization had been designated as one of the Attorney General's most wanted international drug trafficking organizational targets -- one of only 46 in the world and the only one from Canada.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canda. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on."
Canada's extradition treaty with the U.S. clearly makes any extradition NULL and VOID should it be politically motivated, look it up!
Hell Yes this was politically motivated and if Judge Nicholson had a ballsack left he'd tell the D.E.A. to go fuck itself.
Now that I have countered your criticism with fact, note no attempt to discredit the speaker but instead a valid counterpoint, I'm sure I'll get flamed but keep in mind one very important thing before you attempt to discredit my point with a personal attack, I did not hide behind anonymity!
that's how you fucking do
that's how you fucking do it, my friend! that's what I call non-bullshit comment posting on the web. I agree with you one hundred percent
I agree
I agree, hes not a political prisoner. He's a thought criminal.
FREE MARC NOW!
The facts are clear: This is PURE propaganda!
The fact that the DEA made it VERY CLEAR in it's own press release that the arrest of Marc Emery was mainly for the funding of political action groups proves beyond a shadow of doubt that Marc was targetted as a political talking point.
The fact that the US Government knows full well that cannabis has great medical value--quite in contrast to their publicly stated "dangerous drug" propaganda--is represented in the fact that they filed for medical patents on cannabis compounds for their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties in US Patent #6630507 proves that they are completely hypocritical at their very foundation.
The fact that Marc Emery NEVER sold a single seed in the USA means that if a crime was comitted, it was comitted in Canada, and would logically have been dealt with in Canada.
The fact that for more than a decade, Canadian Members of Parliment were provided with a full seed catalog on a bi-monthly basis, and the fact that those same MP's referred medical cannabis patients to Marc's cannabis seed company also prove that Marc was providing a beneficial service to the people of Canada. The fact that he chose not to penalize United States citiezns solely on the basis of their nationality should be commended, not used against him. Especially in light of the fact that more and more US states are legalizing cannabis in one form or another in ever increasing numbers.
When Marc started his business, there were only 6 (if I remember right) US states which had legalized medical cannabis, but today there are 13 or 14, and more on the way. Canada has had medical cannabis nationally for far longer, but our government seems to have been forced to capitulate with US Government policies for so many years, they are simply incapable of making the decision to legalize on their own.
If people would look at the larger and more important issues of the decimation of Canadian Sovereignty, the right of free Canadian citizens to injest whatever safe, natural plants they choose--even if they may cause the terrible side-effects of regulating insulin levels in diabetics, curing terminal cancer, mitigating the effects of multiple sclerosis and many other POSITIVE BENEFITS...the simple fact is that the more you look at the FACTS about cannabis, the more impossible to deny that the best solution for the illegality of cannabis is the removal of all current laws with respect to this incredibly useful and SAFE plant.
Now, if Marc had travelled into the states and sold cannabis, grown, processed, cured and packaged for resale, then I'd be the first one to say "you shot yourself in the ass, buddy!" but since Marc never sold any form of drug--not even in Canada--there is absolutely no reason that he should be extradited to a foreng country for not violating any laws in either his country of origin, or the country which seeks to politicise his prosecution and incarceration.
You would think that a country which is about to have yet another massive financial collapse would at least have sense enough to understand that importing "criminals" isn't exactly the smartest fiscal move they could be making at this particular juncture, either...but hey...that's just the way I think. d=^)
Good luck, Marc! Thos who truly understand the REAL FACTS behind the PROPAGANIDIZED ISSUES of this entire "Twilight Zone-esque" farce are pullin' for ya, buddy!
Funny thing that the gov
Funny thing that the gov will allow alcohol to be legal and be bought anywhere and yet someone who is trying to give people an alternative to have to use alcohol or prescription drugs is deemed to be a threat to society.
In my opinion you should be able to grow as much as you want and use as much as you want and im sure this was all brought on by Mr. Bush's war on drugs yet the soldiers are over in Iraq killing innocent civilians and raided all the wealth that has been hidden their for thousands of years its time for the people of the world to over power these pig headed leaders that are running everything.
Clarification response for "Anonymous" comment on Oct 2/09@417pm
For a Canadian, IN Canada, selling cannabis seeds is NOT considered a crime.
The fact that an American citizen decided to buy seeds from a Canadian merchant does not make the merchant's sale a crime.
The fact is that the US DEA wishes to completely eradicate cannabis because it interferes with their corporatocracy.
ANYONE who shows a pro-cannabis stance or attitude is subject to persecution by the American Government BECAUSE our government has granted the DEA "Police powers" to operate in Canada with the assistance of the RCMP.
So, as strange as it may seem, even though something may not be illegal here, if it is illegal in the US, the American government can arrest their suspects here with the support of the RCMP and extradite without any problems.
We are no longer Canadians, we are "Citizens of the North American Union" and, therefore, Canadian Domestic Law no longer trumps American Domestic Law...even when it is being applied on Canadian soil and against Canadian citizens.
It's sad but true.
law.
if you think he broke the law you should check out the doc "The Union" and by the end of it if you aent laughing at the marijuanna laws in canada than you are just stupid. the only thing that makes sense out of all of this is thatit doesnt seem to make any sense at all.
Oh, so political!
*response to "I'm for the freedom of Marc."*
While you are correct that Marc did break a law across international borders and is now paying the penalty, I believe you are equally incorrect when you state that he is not a political prisoner. By definition, according to the Oxford Pocket Dictionary, a political prisoner is, "A person imprisoned for their political beliefs or actions." This, then, by definition negates your argument. I am not trying to be confrontational, I believe, rather, that we must see things for what they are. Marc has fought, ceaselessly, for the changes that we need to see globally regarding Cannabis. He has presented the information, the documentation, and the outlet for leadership that activists have been waiting for. I am from New Mexico, USA, and I believe that Marc is a fantastic political figure who has, indeed, been imprisoned for what he believes to be right and beneficial.
Saying that Marc Emery si not a politicalprisoner is ridiculous
If he is not a political prisoner then why did the DEA say that his arrest "is a significant blow ... to the marijuana legalization movement?
Marc Emery has never been to the U.S.A. so why are they arresting him? He broke their laws in CANADA, so CANADA should be pursuing legal action, not the fuckin U.S.A. Only Americans went to the U.S.A. with Marc Emery merchandise. To break the law abroad you have to be abroad, and when Marc was doing this seed selling he was in Canada trying to have it legalized.
Marc Emery is a political prison because he was very open is saying that if you send him your money the money will go to legalizing marijuana, and fighting the drug war. If they are cracking down on seed sellers bust ontario seed bank, all the other seed banks in Vancouver etc. why just go after Emery, when the ONLY difference was that Emery would fight the laws... the others wouldn't.
FUCK YOU FUCK THE LAW I LOVE
FUCK YOU FUCK THE LAW I LOVE MARIJUANA STRAINS FREE THIS NIGGAH EMERY

He's a victim of "Political Kidnapping"
Rediculous! OJ doesn't go to jail when he kills Nicole yet Marc gets 5 years for selling pot seeds and being an activist? Everyone needs to pull together and write their congress to release him. Write the president, I did. Make noise! Make it known! Make a scene! We need to get him free....PLEASE!

Free Mark,free weed,free seed's for all.
No pity from me
Sure its an awful injustice and it should be decriminalized to say the least. Selling seeds should not be a crime and they should not have been able to take him to the US. BUT how can anyone pity this guy he went LOOKING for trouble! 'Overgrow the government' statements encouraging people to break the law and going around the country shouting it out till the powers that be took him down. How can one pity his wife either after all she knew exactly what risks they were taking getting into this business they're now paying the price. It is a terrible injustice no doubt but it could have been easily prevented. The only REAL crime here was the amount of money Marc was charging for his seeds! One plant can produce hundreds if not thousands of seeds easily and he was selling them upwards to 30 dollars per seed at times! If you want us to overgrow the government you'll have to bring the prices down to a reasonable level or we'll be broke in no time!
No-one needs your pity
He was breaking the law openly to demonstrate that it is an unjust law. If you believe something is wrong, are you going to let it continue to be wrong? Like Marc said in his final press conference before being handcuffed "Change doesn't happen in a vacuum" which means of course there needs to be a crisis to change a law that is evil and offers no benefits to public policy. If you were marked as a number 1 target by a foreign country FOR SELLING SEEDS WITH NO VICTIMS OR DEATHS I bet you would want some pity then. Nobody cares how much he sold his seeds for. Yes you can avoid change, but change is for the better sometimes, and this is one of those times where the public knows more than the blind politicians. FREE MARC EMERY AND STOP THIS CONSERVATIVE GARBAGE
Emery is Toast
Emery's big mouth and his even bigger ego has got him neutered. His seed business is busted - his Vancouver storefront is shut down and his magazine has gone "up in smoke". He owes close to $500,000 in unpaid federal income taxes and he's going to a U.S. jail for the next 5 years leaving behind a sobbing wife. He has done nothing to further the cause as evidenced by the most recent Bill C-15 in Parliament.
Emery is a loud mouth who likes to hear himself talk. They'll be sending him sunshine in a tin can. Sad, but true.
Marc Emery is a pansy.
Marc Emery is a pansy.
WORD!
Word.
How much are you getting
How much are you getting paid by the DEA?
SHAME ON YOU WHO DO NOT SUPPORT MARC 110%!!!!!
Wow Im reading some of your comments and you guys with your opinions of marc that are at all negative about him really should be ashamed to yourselfs. You guys seem like the oppisiton here and im wondering why you look at such a beautiful and righ in information site. You guys really seem to me to be more of a DEA mentality and we don't like your kind here. So why don't you guys with your negative perspect of marc go somewhere else. This man did nothing wrong. I think you guys are the ones who support these evil laws. Goodbye. I pray for your souls.
Anyone who would snatch this
Anyone who would snatch this godgiven plant out of the hands of those who need it are WITHOUT a soul!
me too!
Me Too!
To those who believe this
To those who believe this isn't political, take a look around and see who is -really- being arrested and penalized for drug offenses. Look at which drugs are being singled out. Look at the recent law that was passed against cloves, flavored rolling papers, and flavored cigarettes in the U.S. For the protection of kids under 18? B.S. Who really is willing to pay the extra money and drive all over town for such things? Even in big cities, they're expensive and hard to come by. Their own statistical data shows children don't start on those items -- they start on regular tobacco cigarettes that are cheaper and easier to obtain.
All of these high-profile busts and making yet more items associated with those who are considered counter-culture, non-mainstream groups illegal sure are happening at a rapid pace.
The U.S. govt has already backed out of oppressing poppy farmers in Afghanistan due to the mess it created. Now the same people see themselves losing ground in the U.S. as well, so they're turning up the heat. They're losing debates on television. People are spreading truthful information to others via cheap media transports. Their lies are being exposed. They are running out of older generation individuals who believe in the propaganda due to them dying off, seeing loved ones wrongfully imprisoned, or trying it. They ignited a powder-keg in Mexico that has crippled Mexico and is spilling over into the southern United States in the form of violence and kidnappings.
They are running out of excuses and support. They are attempting to turn up the heat. They are trying their best to protect their high-paying jobs. They see their cash cow meal ticket evaporating.
How is that NOT political?
-------------------------
Want further proof?
How many U.S. politicians, wealthy people, and high-profile entertainers have been left alone in this war on drugs? Who is routinely being hassled? Who is being imprisoned? Who is having rights taken away? Who is losing voting rights? Not U.S. Presidents... Not conservative talk show hosts... not high profile, wealthy entertainers... Not high profile govt officials...
When Rush Limbaugh can be caught twice with major drug offenses that should have resulted in felony arrests and removal of his voting privileges -- and nothing happens? When Cindy McCain can illegally obtain pain killers and -fire- the person who blew the whistle on her without suffering imprisonment and loss of voting rights? When Obama, George W. Bush, John Kerry, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin, and a ton of others can publicly admit to using marijuana and not only have voting rights retained but also be allowed to run for (and sometimes win) major elections without penalty?
The above is just a small portion of the mountain of evidence that exists. To say this all has nothing to do with social structure and politics is not only ridiculous, it's ignorant.
Marc Emery is being called a political prisoner because he is being singled out due to his involvement in anti-prohibition activism. That -is- most definitely political.

Marc Emery
Marc is in Jail because he is essentially interfering in the sale of Pharmaceutical Companies Pills. The U.S. Gov't got a patent for Marijuana and Marc's seed's will deter people from growing and helping themselves to medical treatment, void of Big Pharma....and FDA profit. It sure is Political. I just can't believe Obama is allowing this. Marc should be sentenced and serve in Canada, under Canadian Law. These people who say he, "deserves it" don't have half the intestinal fortitude Marc has; and I wish they got a taste of prison and then see if they wish it on anyone but Real Criminals.
He paid Taxes and operated openly for years. Conservatives got pissed off under the Bush Admin.; and it's probably good Obama got elected or he'd be doing life.
No Victim, No Crime! Do the Math. Now We have to fork up $1,000,000 to house him in a Fed. Pen in the U.S for 5 years. The prisons will keep locking up people for a damn plant until everyone who smokes admits it and fights back.Call your Rep.'s and Senators. Release Marc and De-Criminalize Pot!!!
The US Government Cannabis Patent mentioned above
For those who don't believe what "Anonymous" said above, please google "US Patent 6630507" and you will instantly be presented with a list of over 9,400 links to "US Patent 6630507 - Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants"
Remember, people...they SAY that cannabis is a dangerous drug with no medical benefits, and THAT is the reason they are prosecuting anyone who even looks at a cannabis plant sideways. The fact that they have filed a MEDICAL PATENT proves beyond any reasonable doubt that they've known that what they've been telling the people--and arresting, prosecuting and IMPRISONING them for--for the last 70 years has been disproven by their own labs both in the mid 70's, and most assuredly in 1986 when they completed their scientific tests which they used to fila a MEDICAL PATENT ON CANNABIS.
Keep in mind that the date a patent is ISSUED is nowhere near the date that the APPLICATION was made! They've know about this for DECADES already...and if common sense is true, they probably knew all about it in the 30's, before they ever tried to take 80% of all medicines off the shelf because they were effective, and contained cannabis compounds. If this is true, they've deliberately harmed hundreds of millions of people's health, and killed tens of millions, solely for their own corporate and governmental greed.
And YOU got to pay for it! What a bargain, huh?
Thanks for the google
Thanks for the google suggestion ! Very good !
MJ Prohibition has already been ruled unconstitutional once
For the life of me
I cant imagine why anyone else does not see this
The United States Prohibition on Cannabis violates the US constitution in 5 different areas
As such, the prohibition is un-enforceable.
The prohibition creates
3 areas of discrimination
2 areas of anti-trust
and the US Govt is committing ongoing Felony Medical Malpractice.
Similar laws designed to prohibit Cannabis have already been ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in the 1950's
If you folks understood how the US Constitution worked and what being an officer of the court means, then you would see how easy it is to eliminate this problem.
For the record In the United States, all:
lawyers, judges, cops, & District Attorneys are officers of the court.
They have an obligation to uphold the US constitution before all else.
They cannot enforce a law that is in conflict with the US constitution.
An officer of the court, having taken an oath are committing a crime when they violate someone's rights or break the law, in an attempt to prosecute someone under laws that are in contravention to the US Constitution.
I have explained this to sub-NORML, Oaksterdam and to Marc and Jodie. Its like talking to a brick wall.
All laws in the US (and to some degree around the world) stem from the US Constitution. The prohibition against Cannabis, which is a huge mistake, can be resolved simply from within the system by proving to any judge involved with any cannabis prosecution that its UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
PLEASE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE RIGHTS YOU ARE GIVING AWAY!!!
Free Marc Emery!
I have been arrested and jailed for pot myself.I am serving probation in two counties, and am blown away that they can do this to Marc (and myself, for that matter)FOR A PLANT!! Why don't our lawyers know about this being unconstitutional?
Constitutional Rights are VOID in court!
A lot of people don't know this, but whenever you go into court anymore, you are under ADMIRALTY LAW, or "Corporate law" and not any law which relates to human beings such as "Common Law."
This applies both in Canada and in the USA.
Since the lawyers know this fact, they don't even bother to bring up Constitutionality, as they will be throw out of court.
The second you walk into an Admiralty Court, you are "LEGALLY" at sea, as "Admiralty Law" is the law of the sea...let's not worry about the fact that you're on land...they certainly don't!
DEA lies!
Stupid DEA is afraid ! They know that people know Marijuana is safer than alcohol. That all the prohibition started with a bunch of Lies.
In order to stay in power they have to Lie. If weed Is legalized they will lose a lot of power. They're the real criminals for not allowing sick people to use this wonderful medicine. They must respond for this crime! Why Cannabis still ilegal?
FREE EMERY!!
Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?
The DEA KNOWS that they're lying, too!
Many TRUE facts about cannabis are available here, at http://PhoenixTears.ca, http://JackHerer.com and at http://NORML.org or http://NORML.ca, and I reccommend that everyone hit ALL of those sites if they have not already done so!
Man of the REAL facts are also consolidated into a recently released book entitled "Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?" that you might also wish to read:
http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Safer-Driving-People-Drink/dp/1603581448
