Dave_Schuldt Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Stand up for yourself and show that you're a real country not our 51st state! Free the Prince of Pot, Mark Emery. Don't send him down here to face the BS charges that our lame ass government has cooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Oh, are you referring to that pot dealer? The guy who got rich peddling dope. THAT guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Dude the guy should be nailed. He wasn't an activist, he's a mail order drug dealer, who's been commiting mail fraud, tax-evasion, distribution of an illegal substance on a huge scale, and who the hell knows what else. Â And know i'm not anti pot. I think there are a lot of vices that are only marginally dangerous, and the criminal society that's gorwn up around them due to their being illegal is likely worse than their effects. So i'd rather see them legalized, regulated, and taxed to hell. (pot and prostitution for starters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear_and_greed Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 The spineless Canadian justice system and the zealous American drug storm troopers should take care of their own back yards. If the Canadian officials permit the brown shirts to extradite him, they should be arrested for sedition. They were well aware of his activities and chose not to pursue things further. How can they yield to pressure from a foreign government to bring charges now? This will set a dangerous precedent. If selling seeds make him a drug dealer then I guess we are heroin addicts when buying poppie seed muffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, it would be a dangerous precedent, all right, because if Canada extradites this guy to the US to face charges there, what's to stop the US from extraditing people to face charges here in Canada? I mean, really, where would it end? Next thing you know we'd be sending former SS prison guards back to Germany to face war-crimes charges even though the concentration camp they worked at wasn't even in Canada. Or murderers could be arrested in the US and extradited to Canada to stand trial even though the murder wasn't committed in the US. We certainly wouldn't want to see that happen, would we?

Growing herb for rec. use seems to be a hell of alot less damaging to the land and man than growing a field for one bottle of mash. And I'm not anti-alcohol But why the tax?? Isn't there enough already??There should be no shame in BC by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Those liquor taxes pay for the health care for drunks with cirrhosis of the liver, kids run over by drunk drivers, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
