Tonight was my first encounter with Marc Emery and suddenly it appears that Canada is a lucky country to have a brave fellow like him. I plan to learn more about him.

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.
