"That's still true, and it's hardly invalidated by the fact that an activist has chosen to sell seeds in order to challenge the laws. He's not doing it for the money, like the drug cartels are, he's doing it because ultimately he wants to be a (legal) *consumer*, not a dealer."

I don't think Marc Emery is that noble. He wants very much to get rich in the marijuana industry. I don't doubt that he does believe it ought to be legal. So do I. But this guy is clearly also in it for the money.

By the way, he has a bad name as a seed merchant. Look around on the net and you'll see some people talking about him as a hero and others who have bought crappy seeds from him or sent money to his company only to get nothing in return talking about what a crook he is.

I've known Marc for over a decade. He makes lots of money, but spends it freely, particularly on pot-related political activism, because the government has seized his assets before, resulting in him seeing no utility in accumulation and saving.

This is not Marc's first run-in with the Crown - I still have a 'Free Marc' button from a previous episode in Saskatchewan. ;^)

He may not be 'noble', but he puts his money where his mouth is, and refuses to respect wrongful authority. That makes him an outstanding citizen, in my estimation - Canada could use a few more citizens with balls.

All in my ever-so-humble opinion.

He wants very much to get rich in the marijuana industry.

The LEGAL marijuana industry ... nothing wrong with that.
