With Marc Emery’s extradition, Rob Nicholson and the Conservative government have made a mockery of Canadian sovereignty and given in to pressure from the American government. Emery’s prosecution was politically motivated. American law enforcement wanted to shut him up. Emery is not the only one who mails people marijuana seeds, yet he will sit in an American jail for it. And what is wrong with marijuana? Nothing. By Googling marijuana, you will see its medicinal benefits.
 
Emery’s extradition and Bill S-10 will do nothing to curb the marijuana trade because freedom-loving people have the fundamental right to put whatever substance they want into their own bodies. Marijuana has not killed one person and Emery is not a proprietor of death. He is the leader of the movement and his extradition will not be forgotten or ignored. The Canadian government should concentrate on enacting tougher laws to curb real criminals. But of course, the Harper government is too cowardly and idiotic to realize that.
