POT SMOKER BACKS RCMP, DEA

It is ironic that, as a pot smoker, I am defending the RCMP and the Drug 
Enforcement Agency for their arrest of Marc Emery for selling pot seeds in 
the U.S.

When will people realize he is not being arrested for selling pot or seeds 
in Canada, but for selling the seeds in the United States?

Emery did not break any Canadian laws, he broke U.S. laws. And, as much as 
I hate to admit it, the DEA has every right to attempt to extradite someone 
from Canada who broke an American law.

If Emery only sold his products in Canada, then he would have nothing to 
worry about.

It was his choice to sell the seeds in the U.S. that has brought him this 
attention.
