“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.
I’m no fan of that foolish Marc Emery but in all fairness, he was not *conspiring* to sell seeds to Americans. He merely made them available online. Do Americans have jurisdiction over the internet? There are several U.S. websites beaming bile into our country that are in violation of Canadian hate laws. I have yet to hear of an online klansman extradited from the US to Canada.
