Marc Emery to turn himself in
| The so-called "Prince of Pot" launched his farewell tour Sunday in Calgary. Marc Emery has given up his long fight to avoid extradition to the U.S. for selling cannabis seeds. He plans to turn himself in to Seattle authorities in the fall, and then he'll likely serve a lengthy prison sentence in an American jail.
Calgary is Emery's first stop on a 32-city farewell tour.
"I'm being taken to a U.S. prison for something I did in Canada as innocuous as selling seeds, which don't even have any drug quality, and yet I have to face a five year term for that."
Emery plans to surrender himself to U.S. authorities in September. He's giving up on his fight to avoid extradition for selling cannabis seeds to customers in the United States.
"It's difficult to say what will happen in a U.S. federal penitentiary. It's never very pleasant. American jails aren't run nearly as well as Canadian jails."
And Emery would know: he's been arrested more than a dozen times in his 20 years of activism. He says he's on tour to bid farewell to his friends and encourage them to keep up the fight to legalize cannabis.
"I'm going away for a long time so I expect everybody to do their best and pick up the slack for me.'

Seeds are not illegal here & therefore our government should not be allowing this to happen......unless Marc is just a puppet, poster boy, put out there in the spotlight to show everyone that M.J. laws are alive & well. This government is sneaky & covers up the truth very well, don't they? How many people out there know that there is NO M.J. law in Canada right NOW? Marc had a chance to prove that Canadian cannabis laws are dead & have been since Terry Parker Day July 31, 2001.
Back when he was arrested in Winnipeg he plead guilty instead of fighting the charges. He was well aware of the law being DEAD. The very same time he was getting jail time for 2 joints other people were having their charges thrown out for pounds.......some activist!!! We know because we ordered his transcripts to see the truth for ourselves. You don't have to be an idiot & get busted 12 times to be a good activist!!! But you do have to fight back at every chance you get.
I was into this hugely as the time he was arrested and I have never looked at a figure of authority the same way again, I never will again, they are my enemy and every single one of them who in any way supported the campaign against this man's businesses, charities and way of life knows it.
