BC Marijuana Party head and self-proclaimed Prince of Pot Marc Emery has been handed a shocking three-month jail sentence by a Saskatchewan judge. Technically, Emery was found guilty of trafficking. In reality, his transgression was passing a joint. Emery's supporters have begun sending e-mails to Justice Minister Irwin Cotler urging him to overturn the decision. Cotler calls himself a human rights activist. Now's his chance to prove it by freeing Emery - - and tabling a decrim bill that's for real. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
