Release Emery

By Castulo Zane


Marc Emery is imprisoned in the US. He was found guilty of selling marijuana seeds online. The US government charged him and two of his workers. When he agreed to take the whole rap they let his employees off the hook.

As a longtime activist Emery has gained some notoriety. He's been a successful entrepreneur, with online and retail sales. He's run for public office. He's never hidden from the spotlight, but always been open and paid his full share of taxes.

I am not shocked that someone in authority in the US took exception to Emery. They've admitted it was a political move. That's how things work. Sometimes the powerful abuse their power. He's an activist that the powers that be wanted to punish.

That power is regularly capricious. And, while federal legislation is extremely anti-marijuana many states are much more accepting and tolerant, so you could also say that's it's got a split personality.

President Obama has stated that he will consider pardoning people if enough citizens request it. The program is called "We The People". The pardon Marc Emery campaign already has enough signatures to meet the minimum requirements - the original requirement of 5,000 signatures in 30 days was met in 9.

However, there is strength in numbers. Your voice is needed. Please add your support by signing the petition to pardon Marc. Google Marc Emery or visit MarcEmery.ca for more info.

Take advantage of the "We The People" program to tell the bureaucrats in the DEA that the war on drugs has been lost. It has been a waste of time and money. Like prohibition, they can't win.

Marijuana is not a harmful drug. More people suffer injury or die as a result of alcohol or prescription medicines. Amy Winehouse and Micheal Jackson are recent celebrity examples of people who died as a result of legal intoxicants. Why criminalize an herb?
