CANNABIS CULTURE - October 20th marks one year since Michelle Rainey's passing. Michelle was a well-known Canadian medical marijuana activist and Marc's right-hand woman for many years. She used cannabis throughout her life to alleviate the suffering from Chron’s Disease and, later on, cancer.

CANNABIS CULTURE - June 14 is the birthday of medicinal marijuana activist Michelle Rainey, who tragically lost her battle with cancer on October 20th, 2010. She would have turned forty years old, and is survived by her beloved husband JefTek. Her activism career began with Marc Emery in 2000 and she became a major part of his organization in the following years.

Here is a letter from our lawyers explaining what you should write when contacting the US Justice Department asking for Marc to be transferred.

Before Marc was shipped from Seattle to a prison in southern Nevada (en route to his designated prison in Taft, California) he told me I should go to California to help the Proposition 19 campaign to legalize cannabis. He was excited for me to do phone calls, hold signs, and whatever else was needed to help Prop 19 win.

I cried all day long at our Cannabis Culture Headquarters yesterday, seeing our friends come by to share hugs and try to come to terms with the loss of Michelle Rainey, who succumbed to cancer on Wednesday, October 20th. I couldn't stop the tears and my heart ached. I'm just so sad she really passed away. When I got home, I bawled my eyes out and couldn't stop crying for hours. I'm still crying today.

CANNABIS CULTURE - On Saturday, October 16, the Free Marc Emery Campaign is holding a Legal Fundraiser Moneybomb! Marc is hiring a US prisoner transfer specialist lawyer to handle the process of having him transferred to Canada so he can serve his time at home. We need your help!

There have been two recent updates in Marc’s situation. He’s been moved to a new unit in SeaTac FDC in preparation for his transfer to an FCI (US Federal Correctional Institution) because SeaTac FDC is for pre-trial inmates and Marc has been sentenced. He will be shipped out soon, but we don’t know when. However, we do finally know where he'll be: Taft FCI in California.

I visited Marc again yesterday, and I get to see him tomorrow morning too. As always, it's wonderful to be together! It's just sad that we're locked into a concrete and steel room, unable to walk around together or kiss beyond the "hello" and "goodbye". But I'm always grateful for what we do have, which is more than many others.

Today Marc was punished with two months of no commissary (food, shampoo, soap, stamps, etc.) and his cellmate for one month because I gave his cellmate money! Apparently it's against the rules even though it's not in the rule book. Marc was staying healthy eating nuts, trail mix, and tuna and turkey packets from commissary, now he has to "survive" on meals like peanut butter, bread, and rice.
