– Marc funded the marijuana movement in Canada and the USA with millions in marijuana seed money for a decade
– The USA stopped legalization from happening in Canada in 2003, and the Vancouver Police were behind the US extradition request in 2005 after Canada refused to charge him in 2003
– Marc went to prison in September 2009, but is currently free on bail awaiting the Justice Minister’s decision on extradition
– The Conservative Party of Canada is “tough on crime” and “anti-drugs” but also in a difficult position: should they extradite Marc Emery to the USA, potentially violating law and enraging millions of people, or should they keep him in Canada?
