MARC EMERY SHOULD BE CELEBRATED; NOT CAGED

It isn't just Canada that owes Marc Emery ("Canada Owes Me", Emery 
Says, Jan. 12, 2009); All of North America owes Marc Emery. All 
freedom loving countries and citizens owe Emery. Cannabis (marijuana) 
should have been Re-legalized long ago as the 1970's Le Dain 
Commission's report along with Canada's 2002, Senate Committee on 
Illegal Drugs' report unanimously recommended.

Cannabis prohibition has no benefit what so ever unless police job 
security is considered. Cannabis prohibition causes grave problems 
which are escalating out of control including the potential 
destabilization of Mexico, overuse of the prison system, increased 
hard drug addiction rates, lost tax revenue, contempt for government 
and countless other ills.

Marc Emery should be celebrated; not caged.
