to bad they dont lock up this drug dealer for life
Really?? I guess yer completely ignoring the fact that our gov't at the time didn't consider selling seeds to be illegal. Why do you think he was never prosecuted here in Canada.
Get out of the 50's and join the rest of us in the 21st Century.
I bet you still believe this nonsense too:
A Classic comedy

Except that he willingly and knowingly broke US laws when he sold seeds to people in the United States. He knew the risk.
Did you hear about those two Malawian gay guys that tried to get married?
They got 14 years of hard labour today.
They knew the risk?
Is gay marriage against the law in Malawi? Why yes, yes it is.
Civil disobedience is still disobedience. If you're going to break a law, you should expect to get punished when you are caught. Sometimes this will lead to change, sometimes it won't. If Marc Emery broke US laws for some cause, then he should be proud to go to jail, much like civil rights advocates and anti-war protesters saw arrests as a sign of their commitment to the cause.
So, those two gay Malawians who were sentenced to hard labor are using their conviction to attempt to motivate Malawians to change the laws. Emery might try to do the same, or he'll grow up and realize that the US sees the pot trade as serious business, either way, I hope Emery enjoys his prison cell.
people that dont understand the law should not be playing cat and mouse games across federal borders.

Canada (and virtually every other country in the world) will only extradite people for offenses that are crimes in both countries. We don't extradite people to Iran to face a charge of adultry. This is the GROSSEST miscarriage of justice by the Canadian government against one its citizens this century. I'm ashamed to be a Canadian when I read about Marc Emmery.

A) We don't have an extradition treaty with Iran.
B) The distribution/cultivation of cannabis is still illegal in Canada.
So, outside of your Iran analogy not really fitting (more fitting would be a US citizen selling guns to Canada that are legal in his or her state), the extradition of Emery fits your criteria.
Really? You're ashamed that a pot activist sent cannabis seeds to the US, knowing full well that it is a crime in the US...and Canada honored an extradition treaty with the US?
