Marc Emery reign ends Monday (Sept. 28) when the self proclaimed Prince of Pot turns himself in at Vancouver courthouse to face U.S. imprisonment.

Global Marijuana March Marc Emery

The Prince of Pot is to serve five years for his mostly internet based business of selling marijuana seeds.
Canadian marijuana activists will be working on bringing him home sooner rather than later.
Much, but not all, of his marijuana seed company earnings went to organize marijuana legalization efforts.
He’s done more for California legalization efforts than most potheads and activists who reside there.
For his efforts, Emery was put on the DEA most wanted list.
At a time when the USA brazenly began a campaign to round up political dissent.
See my post about Lizzy Borden.
Unlike Canadian courts which tends to view political dissent with interest.
The USA courts have become a mockery of justice. .
Marc Emery enriched my literary spirit.
During role call on my first bring your own bud bus trip, a hectic day where we visited five bring your own bud shops, Emery let out, “You’re either on the bus or not on the bus.”
Referencing Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool Aid Acid Test.
Our editorial relationship was stellar.
Starting with a simple email outlining four story ideas.
About 150 words, possibly less.
However the first How To (Open a Compassion Club) came in at a whooping 6000 words.
Emery suggested I prepare myself for someone to say they followed my How To’s and got arrested.
We pushed the boundary.
Upsetting wife editor Jodie Emery.
Often her and Marc would discuss the issue on their way to the office.
Marc gleeful told me Jodie really had difficult times with my writing.
“We’re not the magicians union,” was Marc’s editorial instruction.
Our How To Smuggle Pot (Sean Paul cover) got us in trouble in New Zealand. A box got held by customs to determine whether the contents were acceptable.
The ensuing hype sold two boxes when customs concluded we were satire.
It’s no joke Emery’s going to jail.
Love him or hate him any anti prohibition weed warrior doing time should be respected.
Despite his best efforts to put on a marijuana seed selling trial it’s just not going to happen.
Extradition from Canada to the US is a formality more than anything.
Meaning Emery would be sent stateside to face a minimum of 75 years versus the 5 year deal brokered.
Potheads were mostly harmless.
The Prince of Pot has left the country.
