The so-called “Prince of Pot” is being extradited to a US federal court from Vancouver, Canada today. Marc Emery, 52, is being transferred from a Vancouver municipal jail today to a federal holding cell in Seattle, Washington. He pleaded guilty to one charge of drug distribution last year and has been sentenced to serve 5 years imprisonment. He is guilty of shipping marijuana seeds from Canada to US citizens.
The US/Canada extradition of Emery dispute has been ongoing for years. Finally a Conservative Cabinet Minister in the Canadian Government decided it was time for Emery to pay for his crimes.
Earlier this month, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson announced his decision to extradite Emery to the U.S., where he is facing a five-year prison term.
Lets all take a moment and give a round of applause to Rob Nicholson. He has stood up for the laws of Canada. It seems the Conservative Government in Canada is doing a great job!! I think everyone can agree that the world will be a better place with Emery behind bars, rather than teaching kids how to use a bong.
I guess the Frito-Lay Corporation will take a hit this quarter in the BC lower mainland with one less stoner at 7-11.

Finally someone put this SCUMBAG behind bars, if only we could get him the death penalty.

This is a good story. I remember before he turned himself in, the news stations were talking about possible outcomes for him being allowed to serve his sentence in Canada etc… and within an hour- Minister Nicholson shipped him out!!
HA HA
Marijuana smoking is a destabilizing force which kills motivation and adds to the ranks of welfare non-producing entitlement class..
The Dominion of Canada should encourage a hard-working society of boozing and domination.
