If extradited he faces life imprisonment. Emery, head of the B.C. Marijuana Party and publisher of Cannabis Culture, ran a legitimate business in Canada. This business, Marc Emery Seeds, was taxed by the Canadian government for a decade. Now American drug warriors want him in a U.S. prison for breaking American laws in Canada. America is blatantly disrespecting Canadian sovereignty. Please, even if you have no sympathy for his cause, stop the extradition. If America is allowed to do this, what kind of ugly precedent will be set? Stand up for your country's rights. John Kovbel University of South Dakota - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
