“Further, I’m angry [Jack Layton] did not even offer any message to me as someone who gave the NDP thousands of dollars in the last election – possibly up to about $10,000” – Marc Emery
Via a reader, who writes;
The interview was done for and broadcast POT-TV network in 2003, owned and funded by Emery, who now faces serious money laudnering chargers. POT-TV is an important plank of Emery’s illegal seed sale operation currently under investigation by the DEA. Rotating ads preceding Jacks sit down interview can often be seen with Emery in a full blown grow room boasting of his high quality marijuana seeds available for sale via his website.
More.
The Elections Canada unofficial search tool doesn’t support Emery’s claim – but in light of his alleged cross border sales, perhaps they’d be interested in where he found nearly $18K for the Marijuana Party.
Personally, having listened to him in a live interview, I think “Martin Luther” Emery is less effective as a marijuana advocate than he is a poster child for the argument that long term use of pot can result in serious cognitive impairment.
Interesting how our Librano$ are content to let the Americans mete out justice to pot dealers and money launderers like Emery, and the guys who built the tunnel between BC and Washington State. They were allowed to cross back and forth but were picked up on the American side where they now face stiff sentences. The Librano$ have lost control of the justice system/courts, so must count on the Americans to do what they cannot. I suspect that is what’s behind Mahar Arar case, frankly, and possibly Ressam as well. The truly brain-dead granola crunching tree hugging parasites, most career activists, are outraged, yet see nothing wrong with money laundering, or selling pot to countries where it is known to be considered illegal.
Emery is a pretty rock solid libertarian and has been for years.
I am not at all a big fan of pot. But I believe that the American “War on Drugs” is entirely insane, isn’t working, will never work and is causing huge social disruption in America.
I also believe that no Canadian citizen should be subject to the lunacy of the WOD, the mandatory sentences the beastial prisons which America seems to think are necessary to stop pot.
Emery challenged the American obsession with drugs. He stood up for his particular brand of pot politics. Which made him a target. A purely political target.
Canada should, politely, tell the DEA and the American government to drop dead. We should not subject our citizens to the insanity of the War on Drugs.
One can’t get a first degree murderer extradited from that cheezy-ass country, but you people are ready to burn down a man over pot.
God damn you.
The “War on Drugs” is nothing more than a fear mongering make work project for the police, lawyers, judges, judicial system workers, penal workers, and last but not least politicians.
It is a grand waste of money, people and resources.
We would be far better off if tax payers paid the wholesale cost to supply everyone who wanted it with whatever they wanted for free and also supplied the resources for those who want to break their addictions.
Instead, we pour billions of dollars into police, judicial and penal systems for a war we can not win.
Just think of how much street crime would go down if the addicts no longer needed to steal to support their habits?
We could could put police resources into solving real crimes and keeping street criminals locked up.
On the subject of American police (DEA) working in Canada – did you know that the US BATF has an office in Toronto? Either did I until I saw it on the news last night!
Pot head Jack Layton says his head exploded about this time: Boom, boom. Humpty Dumpty Jack never got his head together again!
Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
“Thinking along similar lines, Toronto city councillor Jack Layton co-founded the White Ribbon Movement in 1991 to remember the victims of the massacre and protest against violence against women. “Until Montr�al, most of the discussion was introspective,” Layton recalled in 1999. “Then the massacre happened, and it got us off our butts. My head exploded that year. ‘What must it be like for women?’ I thought. It was time to speak out and own up to this behaviour.” “Eight years later,” writes Hurst, “the cause has spread to a dozen countries around the world. Its comprehensive curriculum on gender violence — taught at public, junior high and senior high school levels — is used in 100 schools across Canada, 1,000 in the U.S.” The movement has also attracted criticism from those who believe it makes unwarranted generalizations about the attitudes and behaviour of men (see Jones, “Why I Won’t Wear A White Ribbon”).
*************
Layton: “My head exploded that year.” Butt-head Jack. (Alias: The Butt of Tokee).
Jack realizes that far too much money is being spent trying to control marijuana(remember trying to control booze??). A Conservative government would spend big $$$$$$$ and achieve the same thing the Americans have, the most people in jail in the free world!! At $60,000 room and board for each and every prisoner it is nothing more than stupid. I would rather deal with a pot head than a drunk any day so if you get off on institutionalizing drug abusers start with the drunks, you’ll fill the prisons even faster. We all know that full prisons solves big problems, just look at the States, or Russia, millions in prisons and no crime!
Jack Layton – leader of pot heads
The Marijuana Party is about to distribute leaflets celebrating Jack Layton’s support. You can pick up your leaflet at the Roach A Rama. A little history via Cannabis Culture Magazine:
Federal NDP leader, Jack Layton, made an explicit effort to…
I’d have more sympathy for Emery if he had made efforts not to sell seeds to the USA.
He knows their laws. He broke them when he chose to send seeds to the U.S.
He may not like it, but he can’t say he wasn’t warned.
If he had refused to send any seeds to U.S. customers and had made clear he would not facilitate illegal activity in another country, he’d probably not be facing the problems he is today.
From Cannibis news:
Marijuana smoke contains the same cancer-causing chemicals found in tobacco smoke … and since pot smokers hold marijuana smoke in the lungs longer, regular use could pose the same kinds of cancer risks as cigarette smoking.
Another known health risk from marijuana is altered sexual development. Changes in hormone levels caused by marijuana can alter normal patterns of growth and sexual development. In boys and men, marijuana causes decreased blood levels of testosterone. Women and girls also experience a drop in hormone levels after marijuana use.
“Marijuana can disrupt short-term memory … calculation skills, reading comprehension and other abilities … with effects lasting several hours after the high disappears … and the more you smoke, the longer they seem to last,” Parker said.
Reaction time and visual tracking ability also could be a problem in special instances.
“Probably the biggest thing to remember is that marijuana is a complicated drug, so much that, even after decades of research, we still can�t describe all of what it does, everywhere in the body,” he said.
================================================
Over the past year there are been numerous news reports about the health dangers of Pot. But alas, many of those reports have never made it on the news……more MSM bias? Mais oui….
Instead of spending money on police, penal and judicial systems, let’s send all pot smokers to a mental institution now before it is too late.
Today’s pot ain’t what momma used to smoke…..and hell…what’s with the latest fad of lacing pot with crack cocaine and other drugs?
Smoke, smoke dem cigarettes: puff, puff yoself to def. Al K. Hall and Nick Teen and Mary Jane; quite some menage-a-trois. Who, me, stupid? Addled, perhaps?

Area man calls cops, now facing drug charge
CARDINAL (Staff) — A 52-year-old Cardinal man went from would-be robbery victim to accused pot grower in a matter of minutes Sunday.
The man’s bad luck began to unfold around 7 p.m. when he was roused while sleeping on his couch by a pair of knife-wielding attackers who demanded money.
Police said the man managed to flee his Victoria Street home and call Grenville OPP.
When officers arrived, they searched the man’s house where they were unable to find the suspects but did uncover 20 marijuana plants growing in the basement
Anselm:
Get a life. Due to advanced hydroponics the THC level in todays hydrobud is high enough without lacing it with PCP, Crack, or any other substance. That is an old story that anti pot cranks pull out when trying to make an argument.
If I want to smoke a little pot and order large, spicy pizzas thats my business and I dont need a mental institute.
They don’t call ’em the “doppers” fer nothin’….and there’s a chemically-induced reason Jack always wears that insideous sardonic smile.
Wanna spark up a bomber befor Question period Jack…think of it as money in the party pot….so to speak.
Yo, “Reux”: I smoke pot, and I’ll spell and write circles around you every day of the week.
Idiot.
Kate,
You should link to your other posts about the Prince Of Pot.

Quoth McMillan:
“Marc Emery, ” one of Canada’s most media-savvy and provocative potactivists”, decided to do the civil disobedience schtick and pass a joint in Saskatoon. Well, it’s all fun and games, until someone gets their ass thrown in jail.
It gets better…. That’s right – he’s blogging from jail. Poor baby.”
Yes indeedy Folks. Locking up somebody for 2 months for passing a joint just wasn’t enough punishment for Marc Emery. He needed to suffer more for breaking the law.
I suppose if you agree with the illegality of pot, you should be out there advocating for the criminalization of tobacco and alcohol, as they do as much, if not more, harm to people, their families and society at large, with huge social costs in terms of policing and health care.
Why is there no lobby to make them illegal?
And while we’re at it, as sex can be dangerous to your health, possibly leading to all sorts of STDs, including AIDs, perhaps we should make it illegal too.
In fact, just breathing the air around Southern Ontario can be hazardous to your health. Maybe breathing shoud be outlawed there, or at least taxed heavily, to pay for the cost of health care.
That’s right – in Canada, people in jail actually get to blog about their experiences in real time.
I don’t understand why people get so bent out of shape over Emery. He has sought out celebrity in the name of civil disobedience – and then cries like a baby when he actually receives the consequences he sought to inflict on himself in the name of his cause.
Maybe he could make up his mind what he wants to do with his life if he’d sober up long enough crawl his way out of that drug addled haze he functions in.
Billy Beck wrote, and I copy-and-pasted:
“Yo, “Reux”: I smoke pot, and I’ll spell and write circles around you every day of the week.”
Hey, Billy, man, you misspelled “Redux” as “Reux”, man. Are you high now, man? That must be some good shit you got there, man.
And never underestimate Dubya El MacK., man. You can’t hold a lit joint to Dubya El, man. Dubya El’ll kick your ass, man.
Colin said:
“If I want to smoke a little pot and order large, spicy pizzas thats my business and I dont need a mental institute.”
Well, Colin, it’s still a crime to be in possession. Unless memory fails me (no pun intended, considering the topic), no legislation so far has been passed to decriminalize possession. You’ll still be officially branded a “criminal” if caught by the blue boys. I believe there’s a hefty fine as well. Got any money for that? Try to get security clearance for all kinds of jobs then, man, and you’ll be sorely disappointed. Hell, any business can refuse to hire anyone with a criminal record. Be afraid. Very afraid. The Librano$ are not on your side, man. Nor Jack Layton. He’ll tell you to feck off, man, ’cause he’s a politician and he’ll do anything to keep from losing votes. Remember that, man. Pun intended now.
But go right ahead and toke ’till you collapse, man. I frankly don’t give a damn, man. Smoke up, man.
The last I heard simple possession cases do not proceed in the courts. There is no will to prosecute.
In practice the cops might sieze your stash if its large enough but most likely will just send you on your way.
Of course I cant imagine how the cops would find three or four grams of pot that I might have in my apt. and unless they pull my car over and strip search me they couldnt find it that way either. So Im not really afraid…
Im also not a liberal or a Dipper. I in fact am a card carrying conservative!
McAllister,
I believe Mr.Beck was having a little laugh at the expense of “Reux”
You see… if you click on “Reux”‘s name and go visit his homepage… you find the following introduction:
“I’m a 210 year old spirit of Canada’s archetype reformer/libertarian reborn in the mind of an average modern Canadian. This form is a safe haven from the errant orthoxies (SIC)and narrow minded idealism that plagues modern culture. You will be free from “progressive” pretention, pomposity and elitism on this site.”
Hint… “Reux” spelled “orthodoxies” without the D.
It was a clever little joke actually.
But you’d have to be paying attention to get it, I suppose.
Colin wrote:

Excellent! Me too! Some of our brethren, however, might frown on the stuff, though. Might be better for a while to keep it private, if you think so.
Sockpoppet, I’m familiar with Dubya El, yes. I thought Billy Beck made a typo, which all of us do from time to time, esp. when strapped for time, as many of us are. I just couldn’t let the opportunity go to point out the irony of the misspelling on the part of Mr. Beck. Guess one has to be U the I to get Billy’s type of humor, man.
Some people need the circles and arrows before they get it.
Maybe you should spark up and reflect, Stephan.
There’s a spelling mistake for you. Have at it.
Colin,
Get your own life back first. Anyone that requires a mind-altering drug to exist ain’t really living. What’s wrong with your natural coping skills? Why do you need pot?
You might also want to pay attention to the research that says that the new “potent” THC is causing huge increases in psychosis. The fact that pot is also being laced is ANOTHER worrying trend. Pay attention………..
The fact that you are a card carrying conservative only proves that groupthink is a growing influence.
Get off the weed and go for a damn walk…..
BTW, Colin, as you and I are Conservatives, we must realize that the Librano$ have such extensive connections and are owed so many favors that even a criminal charge that rarely gets prosecuted can indeed be made to stick upon people of our political orientation.
Remember the former president of the BDC, I believe it was Francois Beudoin or whoever, who was wrongly fired and had his house searched on an apparently too-easily-and-quickly acquired warrant? The Librano$ obviously wanted to get even with him for refusing to approve some loan the PM at the time, wanted approved for a buddy of his, which was, btw, a bad risk. You see, the law can indeed be used, rightly or wrongly, as a political revenge tool when the bastards so choose. It’s like a legal version of what the KGB and the Chinese Communist Party do to citizens who refuse to toe the official party line as dictated by the Dear Leader, in our case, PMJC then; PMPM now, His Majestic Loftiness the Supreme Overlord.

Anselm:
There is a difference between occasional usage and chronic dependance.
Partaking once or twice a week with friends is no different than having a few drinks on the deck at the lake.
As for groupthink setting in… bwahhhahhhaaaa
“Instead of spending money on police, penal and judicial systems, let’s send all pot smokers to a mental institution now before it is too late.”
Ah, there’s Anselm all rational and everything. I think we should be putting excusers for IRA terrorism in mental institutions. (OK, another fallacy of sarcasm on my part. Sarcasm is becoming fun).
Ahhhhhhhhhh what a sweet image…
Americans must be salivating at the thought of throwing his stoned ass into “hard” time for a long one… hahaha as Canadians are waiting for the NDumPers explain their involvment… lol
I smoke copius amounts of ganj…
But I will never smoke enough to think the current liebral drug policy “fits the bill”.
Weed is easy to get anywhere. What does is need to be legalized for? So the gov can rape us some more… speaking of which, I also will never smoke enough reef to think I can import massive quantities of it into the United States of America without consequences…
This post makes up for that stupid picture posted of Smirky, with that… it.
To the D.E.A… Good F’n Job! 🙂
“Anselm” — Nobody is talking about “need” except you. You presumptions are showing, and they’re ugly.
And you don’t know what you’re talking about when you jabber about “laced” pot. If you actually knew the market instead of what someone is telling you, you wouldn’t say ignorant things about the subject.
The “prince” will find that dealing with Dubya might be a little more… taxing, so to speak, than dealing with the liebrals.
Ask that guy from Alberta that Governor Bush fried in 99.
Colin… anslam is right.
I smoked laced stuff, once coke, once lsd, both times at a college party. It happens.
jay curry
“Canada should, politely, tell the DEA and the American government to drop dead.” Like c.perish? What ARE we… iranians?
“We should not subject our citizens to the insanity of the War on Drugs.”
Ohhhhhh, so we should not put drug pushers into jail? THAT’S insane.
Pretty soon the Hells Angels will be a legitimate enterprise(drugs, pimpin’, ect).
“I smoked laced stuff, once coke, once lsd, both times at a college party. It happens.”
Your responsibility for smoking an untrusted source of your weed. Were you told it was laced? How did you know? You just smoke anything anyone hands you?
“He has sought out celebrity in the name of civil disobedience – and then cries like a baby when he actually receives the consequences he sought to inflict on himself in the name of his cause.”
No Kate. He sought out celebrity to avoid having to go to prison. The more public he was, the less likely it was he would be arrested. It worked for 10 years.
Nobody wants to go to prison Kate. Nobody.
Marc Emery was thrown in jail last year, and was arrested just this week again because he defied the imoral, unjust and unethical “war on drugs”. Last summer, he was robbed of 2 months of his life. Today, he faces being robbed of the rest of his life.
Do you not understand Kate, that we only have one life… and in that life we only have a finite period of time to live it.That time belongs to us and to nobody else. Once stolen, it can never ever be replaced? Does that not mean anything to you?
Any day, spent locked in a prison, when you have not violated the rights of any human being… when you have not infringed upon the life, liberty and property of other human beings… Any day, any hour, any second spent is a goddamn outrage.
That is 60 days of his life that he will never have back. And if he is sent to prison in the United States it is the theft of the remaining years of his life.. if he lasts that long.
I wonder about you Kate. I really do. You claim to be influenced by Ayn Rand, and yet you do not seem to grasp the fundamental issues at stake here.
Marc Emery’s life belongs to him. His body belongs to him. If he wants to inject turpentine mixed with crushed up gumballs into his veins… (not that he likely every would, mind you) it isn’t anybody’s business.
Maybe it would also be illustrative at this point to hear your thoughts again about the administration of “justice” in the David Milgard case. You remember where you suggested that David Milgard only got what he deserved because he was out that night thinking about engaging in crime.
The fact that he spent 22 years in prison, for a crime he did not commit, you were suggesting was just an “occupational hazard” of being a criminal.
Am I right on that, Kate?
I hate to be the one to break it to you Kate, but if that’s what you got out of reading Ayn Rand… that is simply grotesque.
What part of breaking US law did Emery not understand? Help me out here, someone.
And what part of breaking CURRENT Canadian laws did he not get?
The War on Drugs is immoral? Well, whoever thinks that isn’t a parent, is my guess.
Yes, alcohol and tobacco can wreak havoc on people’s lives, but at this point in time, they are legal in North America. Taxed to death, but legal.
The courts don’t pursue charges on possession because they are overworked, not because they don’t care. If making pot legal would make life easier for both cops & courts, how come said cops & courts are not coming out loud & long in favor of decriminalization? Hmmmmm…
Sock puttet I take it you are young, and the young are led to believe that a decision can be made by two educated adults and a compromise can be reached. This is typical “Liberalism” , appease, and then they are taken over wh it is too late. Marc Emery is a guy with a purpose, and he realizes that the stakes are high, and he is willing to go to jail to advance his cause, To him , jail does not bother these mind sets, and the way he describes his time in Jail on this site, and the amount of supporters that he knows are supporting him from the outside, he can do good time, and it will also give him “exciting” material when he gets to writing his next book, so Emery wants to be a “martre”, something that the younger Canadians have not been thought to accept. Civil disabeiance is imperative to preserve Democracy an don’t ask me who said it but it wasn’s me. As far as cinviting any more “innocents” is concerned, Canada is still a very young nation, and like all narions we have to learn as we go along. Had there been DNA around at the time, along with a determined police force, who would have been more determined knowing that DNA was looking over their back, they would have caught the real murderor much sooner, however the police would not have been allowed to skrew it up, had they the DNA, the real guy would have been picked up.
You seem to worry about Marc spending days in Jail, LOL LOL Nelson Mendall spent 26 years, and ended up the head honcho of the whole country, and Marc is really whellowing in the popularity that goes with “martredom”. Maybe you could take a lesson from Marc, and get really serious about a thorny issue that may be botherint you, and pysically do something about it, if you are not already, so there is a moral here, I hope you don’t miss it.
Stephen Parkville BC ww 2 vet.
I’m not sure Canadians always realize how political the drug issue is in the US.
Basically, in the 60s radical student activists from SDS and other groups got thrown into jail. While there, they connected with members of the Black Panther Party, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Stokely Carmichael’s people and many others.
So for the first time black and white radicals found something in common — dope and revolution. And of course all this became a major component in the Civil Rights struggle which basically grew out of the new left.
Timothy Leary was on the lam from the law while running a campaign to be the governor of California. The Beatles’ song Come Together was supposed to have been written as Leary’s campaign theme. (I knew a guy who was the roommate of an SDS member and Weatherman, who helped break Leary out of jail so that he could go to Algeria to be with Eldridge Cleaver… years later Cleaver became a Reagan Republican.)
So in its origin as a mass movement, drugs were a politicized item in the United States.
Now, drugs do everything from fueling ghetto economies to funding international terrorism. Not a few intelligence agences have used drug profits to fund off-budget operations.
Nowadays, the idea of drug legalization as a personal freedom issue as opposed to a societal consensus issue is rather quaint.
Regrettably, today drugs are integrally involved in “narco-states” and do everything from funding paramilitary organizations to destabilizing various governments.
If a government is going to rearrange its policy on drugs, it must very thoughtfully and soberly consider economic, political and terrorist concerns. The world is often sitting at a balance point, and drugs are one of the economic measures that can send countries in one direction or another.
After reading these comments, as well as partaking in the debate on The Shotgun, I think I’ve finally figured out what unites most Canadians: love for pot. People from all over the political spectrum are rushing to defend a tripped-out career criminal huckster who is an embarassment to himself, his family, and anyone with a shred of morality and self-respect. Gee, maybe if this big Marc Emery battle is won, we’ll have more Marc Emerys in Canada – maybe even some Marc Emerys in Parliament. Boy, wouldn’t that make us a better country! Potheads, you’ve been had – Emery is a cad. Some legalization arguments have merit, but Emery’s actions and words only make the pro-pot lobby look bad…very bad.
Kate, thank you for seeing this for what it is: a black-market pot entrepreneur stepping over the one line he never should have crossed, and paying a laughably minimal price when he should be rotting in a US Fed Pen.
Marc Emery: Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out
Some here in Canada have jumped to the defence of Canadian drug dealer Marc Emery who has been arrested by the RCMP under the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act at the request of the American DEA. Mr. Emery runs an on-line drug distributio…
“Do you not understand Kate, that we only have one life… and in that life we only have a finite period of time to live it.That time belongs to us and to nobody else. Once stolen, it can never ever be replaced? Does that not mean anything to you?”
SockPoppet, that was tosh. I suggest that, true to your sobriquet, you put a sock in it.
As for Emery, he’s a bozo and unworthy of our time and attention. With real issues to contend with, the petty concerns of an addlepated dopehead are of little consequence.
“Pretty soon the Hells Angels will be a legitimate enterprise(drugs, pimpin’, ect).”
Knight, that may already be the case, as the Librano$ really have no appetite to put an end to criminal enterprises such as the Hells Angels.
Professional courtesy, I guess.
Delusions on Parade:
“As for Emery, he’s a bozo and unworthy of our time and attention. With real issues to contend with, the petty concerns of an addlepated dopehead are of little consequence.”
Ah yes. Politics.
Back to the meatgrinder eh?
No time for a detailed examination of the drug-war, or a serious discussion amongst adults about how individual rights and liberties and millions of lives are being ground up by that hideousness and being destroyed by it.
After all, there are burgers for Harper to flip, and babies to kiss, on the summer feel-good BBQ circuit. Of what consequence is the fate of one… how did you put it again? “addelpated dope-head”?
Of what import is “one addlepated doper” to our precious cause?
None. None whatsoever.They can “eat him alive” for all we care. It’s what he deserves after all. We have far more important, special political things to concern ourselves with.
“Kate, thank you for seeing this for what it is: a black-market pot entrepreneur stepping over the one line he never should have crossed, and paying a laughably minimal price when he should be rotting in a US Fed Pen.”
Reflections:
A selection from a book that Kate claims to have read.
Ferris: You honest men are such a headache. But we knew you’d slip up sooner or later � and this is just what we wanted.”
Rearden: “You seem to be pleased about it.”
Ferris: “Don’t I have good reason to be?”
Rearden: “But, after all, I did break one of your laws.”
Ferris: “Well, what do you think they’re there for?”
Dr. Ferris did not notice the sudden look on Rearden’s face, the look of a man hit by the first vision of that which he had sought to see. Dr. Ferris was past the stage of seeing; he was intent upon delivering the last blows to an animal caught in a trap.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against … We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted � and you create a nation of law-breakers � and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
You are such a complete and utter fraud McMillan.
May the jackboots stomp lightly upon your face, when it’s your turn, sweetheart.
When Niem�ller warned of the dangers of silence in the face of National Socialism (“First they came for the Jews…”), he wasn’t coming to the defence of drug-addled criminals. Niem�ller was a pastor who certainly understood the amorality of both the Nazis and the drug pushers.
SockPoppet, you are a libertarian extremist. Social and moral issues like this are where conservatives and libertarians diverge. Conservatives understand that humans have a dark side that needs to be supressed by incentives and penalties, rather than promoted by cads like Emery.
Buzzin’ Steve sez:
“Yo, “Reux”: I smoke pot, and I’ll spell and write circles around you every day of the week.”
You confuse a sticky key board with “thinking”…typical reality through a haze…I doubt you have the capacity to think your way out of your own petty dependencies.

It’s beer that you smoke, only better.
No hang over and no associated aggressive violence
It doesn’t make you dependant, it is not addictive ,it doesn’t lead to harder drugs.
It grows wild and our government wants only to tax it or use it to control us in any way they can.
It doesn’t mean you have to be stoned all the time.
Don’t use it if you don’t like it.
Sock puppet is right, but not very nice about it.
Enjoy your drink tonight after work everyone.
