Marc Emery (Prince of Pot) on 60 Minutes

Pot crusader Marc Emery says his appearance on the news program 60 Minutes on Sunday will be an opportunity for Americans to see him as just an ordinary guy who regards himself as the Luke Skywalker against their government's Darth Vader tactics.

[Supernatural]

Emery was a perfect gentleman and handled himself very well. He was not ashamed of what he does; in fact, he was very proud of it.

He showed much character and a whole lot of courage.

[Mojave]

So the law is cited as a defense by those who are acting outside its terms ...

That's the kind of fraud the "medical marijuana" movement is built on.

The U.S. D.E.A. seems bent on making an example out of Marc Emery. Marc Emery seems bent on making an example out of the U.S. D.E.A. The D.E.A. has at it's disposal, billions in U.S. tax money to spend. Marc Emery has relatively little money to spend on defense. Marc's major strength is his charisma coupled with the good will of several 10's of millions of U.S. and Canadian citizens. I hope Marc is able to marshal a tidal wave of support and prevent the U.S. authorities from ever trying him.

I have donated a couple of hundred dollars to cannabis defense funds in recent years + I donate every year to a popular legalize cannabis organization. I do plan to do what I can to support Marc and Canada against the U.S. D.E.A.

Is our D.E.A. busy imprisoning all those Mexicans who supply SO much of the cannabis market in the U.S.? It seems that the crux of this issue is that the D.E.A. is desperately trying to keep a lid on a boiling pot. The real fear the D.E.A. seems to have is that U.S. citizens might start growing their own cannabis. I have had concerns for year about the safety of the cannabis that comes from who know's what conditions. I think it would be much safer to know that no dangerous chemicals or human waste fertilizer has not been used on anything a U.S. citizen might be putting to their lips. I think it's time for the agriculture department to make a stand for U.S. cannabis products. I know we could grow the best in the world.

Something VERY striking about the D.E.A.'s speakers in the 60 Minute show is that they NEVER made an attempt to portray how EVIL cannabis is. That's because it isn't evil.

Anyone interested in learning about cannabis and the war which has been fought (unsuccessfully) for the last 70 year should by all means rent and watch the film - Grass.

[Mojave]

government must distinguish them from adults.

Government? What happened to "natural law"?

So what is your "natural law" age of consent?

[Know your rights]

No, the medical marijuana movement is built on the simple truth that marijuana has medical value.

Government? What happened to "natural law"?

A government to defend individual rights is a conclusion of natural law.

So what is your "natural law" age of consent?

Natural law doesn't dictate a particular number (as far as I can tell).

[Mojave]

the medical marijuana movement is built on the simple truth that marijuana has medical value.

No, it's a guise for legalized dope.

[Know your rights]

So you baselessly claim.

[Mojave]

Rosenthal, Kubby, the dope den clinics that funded them.

The NAMBLA standard,

"Something VERY striking about the D.E.A.'s speakers in the 60 Minute show is that they NEVER made an attempt to portray how EVIL cannabis is. That's because it isn't evil".

The didn't need to say it was EVIL. All they need is that it is against the law. The DEA thug keep bringing up that Emery was breaking U.S. law and should go to jail for life.

A quote from Karl Hess, former speech writer for President Nixon:

"A person who thinks that it doesn't matter if the law is right or wrong, all that matters is that it is the law, would make the perfect Nazi soldier".

Did the DEA agent fit this mold?

The NAMBLA standard,

As I've already said, natural law contradicts NAMBLA by requiring a distinction between adults and non-adults. Your pathetic smears speak ill of your character.

[Know your rights]

That the medical marijuana movement was/is supported by recreational marijuana legalizers does not establish that it is merely "a guise" for recreational marijuana legalization.

Ya know - it's interesting that the war against cannabis users that started with white politicians trying to stop a few hundred thousand Mexicans and black jazz musicians from luring white women into sexual misconduct has with the expenditure of a few hundred BILLION hard earned U.S. tax dollars to trying to extradite a fine young white Canadian. We've come a long way baby! Now instead of a few hundred thousand minority citizens using cannabis, there are several 10's of millions. What a bargain we get when we entrust an overgrown federal bureaucracy with spending such large amounts of money to force some nebulous moral system upon us.

They, like you, reject age of consent distinctions.

Merely? How squirmy.

[Know your rights]

you, reject age of consent distinctions.

A sleazy lie from a sleazy liar.

Yes - he did.

No, I'm annoyed by these pretentious pr$%#s thumbing their noses at us from Canada. And the posters who support them.

If the USA was a free country like it used to be, instead of the BS Republican control-freak politicians' playpen that it is, they could be thumbing their nose at you from right here.

I'm sick to death of "conservative" totalitarians who want to put all aspects of our lives in the hands of people who could only get government jobs, while at the same time pissing away every taxpayer dollar they can get their greedy, grasping, money-wasting paws on.

The "War" on Some Drugs is a big profit-making industry to such totalitarians, which is why it'll never end and never be "won". As if anyone gives a crap what goverment dopes "think" about dope.

Speak, tagline, speak!

Goooooood tagline. Sit. Stay.
