BC Marijuana Party Leader Target of US Ignorance

--- THIS BLOG HAS BEEN ABANDONED. OUR NEW HOME IS: THE WEASEL SOAP BOX ---

Ok, between the Danes trying to get their sticky fingers on Hans Island and the bloody Yanks demanding the extradition of a Canadian man on "allegations", anyone would get irate over it.

I'll degress - the Danes have something of a legitiment claim, as the island doesn't actually belong to anyone (let's just divide it in half and call it a day). But, the US should just back the hell off. The man in question broke the law on Canadian soil and never did so on American soil, just because they've got a problem with grass south of the border.

U.S. seeks extradition of Canadian pot crusader

Vancouver police armed with a search warrant have raided a pot-seed store run by Marc Emery, the head of the B.C. Marijuana Party.

The warrant was executed on behalf of the U.S. government.

It seems that Emery is selling seeds... SEEDS! It's like charging a pharmacists who sells a lot of cough medicine to someone who winds up making Crystal Meth with a crime. The person didn't actually sell the drug; there is no solicitation involved.

The document alleges a conspiracy to produce marijuana and distribute seeds as well as alleging money laundering.

Conspiracy, eh? Between this and the GTA:SA investigation being launched on request of Congress, I have to muse over how much free time the damn American government has. They're going after a Canadian citizen, who probably isn't even any more guilty than many others who have helped in the actual exporting of the so-called contraband.

"Their activities resulted in the growing of tens of thousands of marijuana plants in America. He was involved, allegedly, in an illegal distribution of marijuana in this country [U.S.]. He is a drug dealer," assistant U.S. attorney Jeff Sullivan told CBC News.

Uhm...ok, and how much crack have you been smoking? That is the stupidest crap I've ever heard.

First - he sold the seeds in Canada, and if an American brought them back home and border security didn't stop them, it isn't our problem!

Second - the man sold seeds, how is this helping with the illegal distribution, since it requires growers, who can get their own seeds from the growing process, since plants have to produce seeds in order to continue the natural cycle of life.

Third - there are others who could've sold the seeds. The other sellers could've very well been in Vancouver. There are plenty available out there. The seeds could've been transported over there from another place in the country, from another grower.

U.S. officials allege that Emery has sold as much as $3 million in seeds.

This Canadian alleges that U.S. officials are blowing out their asses.

They don't even specify where the seeds have been sold! Many of them could've been sold here and they're bringing their unjust war on drugs north of the border.

Of course, this isn't as bad as some of the other crap they've done to Canadians and their land... I could list the offences, but, I'm sure that those reading this are informed of American atrocities across the world.
