Your tax dollars at work. Forget the terrorists.
Officials say Emery sold marijuana to undercover agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration both by mail and in person.
Did they go to buy them in Canada?
Hard to see how they can make a case.
OK...
Who hasn't?!
At least he got more votes than Zippy The Circus CHIMP and Frank The MOOSE.

Do you think that something that occured on Friday hadn't been posted on FR by Sunday afternoon? Yes indeed it is a repeat!
$3 million a year selling the seeds through his Internet Web site.
That's www............
Bummer
Can't remember it,dude.

The age of consent in America varies from 14-18 and around the world can go even lower. It is a crime for an American to have sex with anyone under 18 in another country regardless of age of consent in that person's home state or in the visiting nation. It is part of the legislation to end sexual tourism.
There are "potentially" no penalties for a number of crimes but it is even odder to see Americans charged when they violate no law at home or abroad.
Pot is not legal in Canada even if they look the other way.
Emery Seeds has been raided by the DEA and is shut down for the time being.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmm ... how would this be different than arresting someone in the USA for flushing a Koran down a toilet and extraditing them to Saudi Arabia?
The Libertarian Party -- they really should relabel themselves since they're just a one issue party. How about the "Weed for All" Party?
"Emery, a self-styled activist who once called himself a "libertarian capitalist"...one who obviously supported free trade as well. This is going to be fun.
If you are going to break the law having a nickname like "Prince of Pot" is a bad idea.
OK....are we going to send spec ops there to snatch him like we did in Colombia?
I'm surprised he's been able to maintain the discipline and focus needed to run a multi-million dollar businessssssss....................seeds man like wow man...........eh?
Technically speaking, selling marijuana seeds in the US is not illegal. Selling *viable* seeds is. They can be sold as long as they have been rendered unsproutable (e.g. by heating). They can be found in a lot of pet supply stores, as they have healthy oils and vitamins that are good dietary supplements for parrots. The birds love them.
And as another poster pointed out, there's no THC in the seeds. Or at most just trace amounts -- perhaps if you smoked a whole bushel you might get a tiny buzz, but you'd get better results with a bottle of light beer.
The leader of the B.C. Marijuana Party has some hard opinions of Langley residents, and some radical ideas for pot, education, and healthcare reform.
And he's not scared to share them.
Langley is filled with "old people who are intolerant and bigoted and hate young people," and those old people support marijuana prohibition, said Marc Emery.
