September 10th marks the 2 year anniversary of Marc's sentencing in Seattle, where he accepted a plea deal to serve 5 years for sending marijuana seeds to the U.S. and contributing millions of dollars to activism efforts.

Our good friend Dana Larsen has started an campaign in British Columbia called "Sensible BC", to decriminalize cannabis in our province. Much work needs to be done to achieve a referendum. Go to http://www.sensiblebc.ca for details about how you can get involved and help.

The Jodie Emery Show – August 30, 2012

submitted by on

Jodie returns after three weeks away with lots to share. First, she shows new photos of her and Marc taken in July. On August 11th and 12th, she was visiting Marc in Mississippi, then went to her hometown Kamloops for two days, then off to Seattle Hempfest, where Jodie spoke on stage 5 times over the weekend. She was met with strong support for her and Marc and was thrilled to meet all of the fans and friends. Kudos to the organizers and volunteers that make Hempfest such a success and meaningful celebration of cannabis and hemp. Watch videos from Hempfest here on http://www.YouTube.com/PotTVNetwork and see more coverage at http://www.CannabisCulture.com

Next stop was Las Vegas, where Jodie and the Cannabis Culture Headquarters store managers Tiffany and Catherine attend the Champs Tradeshow and hooked up with tons of great new items for the store. From there, Jodie went back to Mississippi to see Marc again, and finally got home on Tuesday this week!

Jodie shares the copy of DOPE magazine she was featured in, with a photo of her leading the Toronto Global Marijuana March on the cover. Thanks to DOPE magazine for the support!

With now only 677 days left on Marc's prison sentence, his world has been improved as the prison now allows inmates to have prison-issue mp3 players. He has to buy the songs, like everything else in there, so if you're one of the friends or fans who want to help by sending a donation, go to http://www.freemarc.ca for all the details on sending money to Marc's commissary. A lot of people ask how to help out, and Jodie and Marc never like to ask for anything from anyone (except activism to end prohibition!) but they definitely appreciate the support received in every way, shape, or form! Thank You!

The contest entries have stacked up in Jodie's absence, so she picks 3 winners this week to receive a Free Marc t-shirt and Free Marc stickers. To have your chance to win, send an email to jodie@cannabisculture.com.

The Jodie Emery Show – August 9, 2012

submitted by on

With a full travel schedule ahead, Jodie is off to visit with Marc this weekend. Marc's latest prison blog talks about the recent addition of Mp3 players in the prison, and "The Pussy Riot" music protest in Russia. See the blog here: http://www.cannabisculture.com/blogs/2012/08/04/Mississippi-Music-Man-Marc-Pu…

After seeing Marc, Jodie heads to Seattle Hempfest on August 17-19, where she will be speaking for the fourth year in a row, and Cannabis Culture editor Jeremiah will be documenting everything for CC and Pot TV. Get all the info at http://www.Hempfest.org

Then Jodie and the Cannabis Culture Headquarters store managers are off to Las Vegas for the Champs Trade Show. That's happening August 21-23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. See more info at http://www.champstradeshows.com/

Coming up on September 15, Jodie will be speaking at The Boston Freedom Rally. Look for more info about that in the shows ahead, and see the Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/bostonfreedomrally

Jodie gets a bit emotional as she shares a heart-wrenching letter from an inmate she and Marc are helping to find his family. Google "write a prisoner" and find someone out there who could use a penpal to help pass the long hours. Prisoners suffer alone for such long periods of time, and are often forgotten forever – do something small to bring some light into the darkness.

You can send Marc a letter too, he loves to hear from fellow activists and supporters!

With 705 days left on Marc's U.S. prison sentence, Jodie shares pictures they had taken on July 7th and 8th and tells of an inmate that died of a heart attack in the prison – an example of the ways prison causes harm and even death.
