Re: "Marijuana activist faces U.S. extradition," May 11.

 

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.

Canadian pot activist Marc Emery has been ordered extradited to the United States by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson for selling marijuana seeds to consenting adults there. It appalls me that our Conservative government can so readily hand over its law-abiding citizens – on whose business activity it has happily collected taxes for years – to a foreign country and penal system. I would bet that the Hell’s Angels are not buying 10-seed packets over the Internet to run their grow-ops. Our government should be spending my tax dollars and its energy more wisely, and more importantly protecting its citizens.

If the United States can have Marc Emery extradited on trafficking charges, what’s stopping Saudi Arabia from arresting Kim Cattrall on indecency charges? What’s stopping China from arresting all its political opponents in Canada? How can we feel comfortable as Canadians when we know that any other nation’s government can order us arrested and sent there for imprisonment? Our sovereignty is no longer intact.

Re: Prison-bound Prince of Pot says he has ‘no regrets,’ May 11

 

It’s distressing to see B.C. marijuana activist Marc Emery be subjected to the draconian U.S. prison system. At a time when California is on the cusp of legalizing marijuana, why is Canada abandoning one its citizens to a for-profit U.S. penal system?

 

I thought our government was here to protect us.

When I was 15, I wrote my first letter to the editor regarding Marc Emery’s arrest. He personally emailed me and told me to keep writing and that I could become a great activist someday.

 

In May 2009 I became one of the youngest candidates for political office in this country’s history, for the B.C. Green party. I couldn’t have done it without him. He has inspired thousands of other young people to get involved in politics.

 

This man is a hero, and now I can say proudly, a friend. What is happening to him is despicable.
