Ottawa Rejects Prince of Pot’s Plea Deal With U.S.

March 28th 2008
VANCOUVER - A tentative deal between Marc Emery and the U.S. government over money laundering and drug charges has been nixed by Ottawa, the marijuana crusader said Thursday. Mr. Emery says the federal Conservatives have refused to go along with a proposal that would have seen him spend five years behind bars for selling marijuana seeds through the mail. Under the defunct pact, Mr. Emery was to plead guilty on both sides of the border and accept a sentence of 10 years imprisonment on the understanding he would serve half, mostly in Canada.
"All that was required for this deal was a rubber stamp from the federal government," Emery told me late Thursday. "They have, instead, rejected the deal without explanation ... it is clearly political."
The long-time cannabis crusader said he originally agreed to the jail time in part to spare his associates and co-accused Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams from prosecution and prison. "I was willing, the Americans were willing and all that we needed was the Conservative government to also agree," the 50-year-old said. "I certainly didn’t think that would be a problem. After all, I was agreeing to serve five years for a crime that would result in little over a month in jail for any one of the many seed-sellers operating then, and now, in Vancouver and across Canada."
The trio was charged in August 2005 after a raid by local police and American law-enforcement agents on Emery’s downtown Vancouver headquarters. They were accused of violating U.S. laws even though none had ventured south of the border. Emery was the primary target, in particular because of his decade-long campaign to end the criminal prohibition against cannabis in North America. "The Americans targeted me for my political views and activism," he said. "And now my own government won’t go along with an American-endorsed deal because they want me gone."
U.S. prosecutors have offered Williams and Rainey jail sentences in the three-to-five-month range and probation in exchange for guilty pleas. Both are mulling it over. Rainey, who suffers from Crohn’s disease, was Emery’s long-time right-hand but has since become one of the country’s leading medical marijuana advocates. A guilty plea in exchange for a brief term of incarceration would allow her to get on with her life and bring an end to these tribulations. "It’s in the hands of my lawyer," she said. "But it may be the best option under the circumstances." Emery fumed: "Depriving her of medicine by sending her to the U.S. amounts to nothing less than cruelty."
For Williams, too, the deal is attractive compared to the prospect of facing a long extradition fight, a trial in the U.S. and then potentially a 10- to 20-plus-year sentence in an American penitentiary. "It is hard for me to believe that marijuana is even illegal, much less that I’m facing the possibility of life in prison," he told me. "I’m stunned that our government can’t deal with cannabis in our society in an adult way."
Emery’s collapsed plea bargain would have expedited the legal process and saved everyone a lot of time and money. The flamboyant and often outrageous activist now is prepared to mount a lengthy and strident fight against extradition. Emery has flouted the law for more than a decade. He has run in federal, provincial and civic elections promoting his pro-cannabis platform. He has championed legal marijuana at parliamentary hearings, on national television, at celebrity conferences, in his own magazine, Cannabis Culture, and on his own Internet channel, Pot TV.
The political landscape has changed dramatically as a result of Emery’s politicking for cannabis. Health Canada even recommended medical marijuana patients buy their seeds from Emery. From 1998 until his arrest, Emery even paid provincial and federal taxes as a "marijuana seed vendor" totaling nearly $600,000. "Over the last 10 years, I operated openly and transparently," Emery insisted. "Six times a year, I sent every Member of Parliament a copy of my seed catalogue. I donated tens of thousands to politicians of every party, at every level of government. They all gladly cashed my cheques knowing full well the source of the money. Under the definition of the law, they are all guilty of money laundering, the very crime I’m being extradited for."
Kirk Tousaw, one of the lawyers involved in the defence team, said the government’s stance seemed to run counter to the country’s "traditional commitment to freedom, justice and compassion." "We know that most Canadians understand that marijuana is a relatively harmless plant that should not be illegal," he said. The governing Conservatives, however, do not hold such a view and are moving to stiffen the punishment for marijuana offences, including imposing mandatory jail time on those caught with even a small number of pot plants.
The last time Emery was convicted in Canada of selling cannabis seeds, back in 1998, he was given a $2,000 fine. Only a few weeks ago, the B.C. Court of Appeal suggested the proper sentence for someone convicted of selling seeds by mail was a month or two in jail and a year or so on probation.
Since Emery was arrested, many have called on Ottawa to prevent his extradition and, if necessary, prosecute him here instead. The federal government has stood back and refused to intervene since the extradition request from the U.S. was approved under the previous Liberal government. Attempts to derail the extradition process by having Emery privately charged in Canada were blocked by the Crown. Emery’s friends have collected tens-of-thousands of signatures on a petition decrying this as a travesty of justice. The National Post editorial board condemned it as a loss of Canadian sovereignty.
"I’m disappointed," Emery acknowledged. "Not for myself," he added, "because I’ve been fighting for freedom for decades and I’m prepared to keep doing it. I’m disappointed for my co-accused. And I’m afraid for this country."
The Pointless Persecution of Marc Emery
By Rob Breakenridge
"The World Tonight"
770AM CHQR Talk Radio
March 28th 2008
For a while now, it seemed the persecution of "The Prince of Pot" Marc Emery was driven largely by war-on-drugs hawks in the US, but if the recent news story is accurate, the problem lies in Ottawa, not Washington:
A tentative deal between Marc Emery and the U.S. government over money laundering and drug charges has been nixed by Ottawa, the marijuana crusader said Thursday. Mr. Emery says the federal Conservatives have refused to go along with a proposal that would have seen him spend five years behind bars for selling marijuana seeds through the mail. Under the defunct pact, Mr. Emery was to plead guilty on both sides of the border and accept a sentence of 10 years imprisonment on the understanding he would serve half, mostly in Canada. "All that was required for this deal was a rubber stamp from the federal government," Mr. Emery said. "They have, instead, rejected the deal without explanation . . . it is clearly political."
To me, someone selling marijuana seeds is not really all that different than someone selling wine-making kits. Secondly, with regards to marijuana’s legal status, a marijuana seed is hardly going to do much for you on its own - maybe it should be treated more like a bong or water pipe.
In any event, the case against Marc Emery seems incredibly political - and yes, petty. Marc Emery is certainly an in-your-face type of guy, and his activism has made him a target. Emery may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that shouldn’t mean he deserves what he’s being put through. Keep in mind that for years Emery has publicly sold marijuana seeds - even paying taxes on his income (and listing "marijuana seed vendor" as his occupation!). Now suddenly, he’s going to do some hard time. As Emery describes it:

"Six times a year, I sent every Member of Parliament a copy of my seed catalogue. I donated tens of thousands to politicians of every party, at every level of government. They all gladly cashed my cheques knowing full well the source of the money. Under the definition of the law, they are all guilty of money laundering, the very crime I’m being extradited for."
Perhaps Emery went too far when he sold his seeds to Americans, and I suspect had he retained a Canadian-only business, he might not be in this boat. That, however, does not excuse the way he’s been treated, and does not account for the contradictions in this case. For example, if Marc Emery has commited a crime, then why didn’t Canadian officials deal with it? However, if he has not committed a crime in Canada, why are we extraditing him?
But the bottom line is this: if Marc Emery has committed a crime, who are the victims? How is society protected by locking him up?
Pot crusader says Feds nixed plea deal
By Greg Joyce
The Canadian Press , CBC News
March 28th 2008
VANCOUVER - British Columbia’s self-proclaimed "prince of pot" says the Canadian government has nixed a plea bargain with U.S. authorities that would have meant five years in prison. Marc Emery is charged in the U.S. with selling seeds over the Internet. He said Friday he was willing to accept a five-year deal but the Canadian government wasn’t. "I was willing to accept the deal that would put me in jail for five years on a 10-year sentence, mostly served in Canada," Emery said at a news conference in the Vapour Lounge, newly opened above the downtown headquarters where he sells marijuana paraphernalia.
Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams, his associates and co-accused, are also wanted in the U.S. Reports say they have been offered sentences in the three-to five-month range in exchange for guilty pleas. "The Americans were receptive and all that was required was for this deal to go down was for the Conservative government to rubber stamp it," Emery said. "All we needed was the Conservative government to agree to this and they refused." Spokespersons for the U.S. and Canadian governments were not immediately available to comment.
The U.S. government has been trying to extradite Emery on charges he sold marijuana seeds over the Internet and sent them through the mail. Emery says U.S. officials offered him a deal last fall that would involve him pleading guilty on both sides of the border while receiving a 10-year sentence that required him to serve five years behind bars. Most of the prison time would be served in Canada, he said.
Emery said Canadian authorities have known for years about his business. "The government is far from innocent in this situation," he said. He said he has paid more than $500,000 in taxes between 1999 to 2005 "and I put on my income tax declarations that I was a marijuana seed vendor. "I used to send, and still do send, over 10 years now, every member of Parliament gets a copy of my magazine and the seed catalogue in it."
He said he did not keep much of the "millions of dollars" he made selling seeds. "The whole purpose of raising millions of dollars through the sale of seeds was to provide the cannabis legalization movement with the funding it needed and we contributed to politicians at all levels," Emery said.
The extradition case against Emery was put over earlier this month until April 9 at the request of his lawyer and a federal prosecutor representing the U.S. Justice Department. Emery has been highly visible to Canadian authorities for years, holding highly publicized pot "smoke-ins" in a drive to legalize the drug. He once conducted a cross-Canada tour during which he smoked cartoon-sized joints in front of city police departments. He spent two months in a Saskatoon jail after one of his pro-pot protests.
Open Letter to the Justice Minister from Member of Parliament and Deputy Leader of the NDP Libby Davies

The Honourable Rob Nicholson
Minister of Justice

105 East Block
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
March 28, 2008
Cc: The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister
Joe Comartin, NDP Justice Critic


Dear Minister Nicholson,

I am writing to express dismay that the Canadian government has apparently blocked a sentencing deal negotiated between Mr. Marc Emery and the U.S. government. According to media reports, both Mr. Emery and the U.S. government have agreed to a deal that would see Mr. Emery serve a 5 year prison sentence, most of it in Canada, for charges arising from Mr. Emery’s mail-order distribution of marijuana seeds to the U.S.

While it is already unjust that Mr. Emery will be serving a multi-year prison sentence for activities apparently not considered worthy of prosecution by Canadian authorities, it is doubly problematic that the Canadian government has become the primary obstacle to a negotiated resolution of this case.

What possible harm is there in Mr. Emery serving most of his sentence in Canada, when it is my understanding that even U.S. authorities have agreed to this deal? In lieu of any other plausible explanation, it appears that the Conservative government is taking this position because of their own unrealistic, ideologically-driven approach to drug policy.

I strongly urge the government to reconsider its position on this case, and quickly reach an agreement with Mr. Emery and his legal team.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours Sincerely,

Libby Davies, MP

Marc Emery Should Not Be Extradited
Editorial Board
National Post
March 31st 2008
This editorial board has more than once presented its strongest moral case for the Canadian government to block the extradition of Marc Emery, the West Coast marijuana advocate who faces a possible life sentence south of the border for operating a mail-order seed business out of his Vancouver headquarters. It is our view that the differences in the two countries’ handling of seed vendors make extraditing Emery a shameful abdication of judgment by the Canadian authorities.
Others have argued that (after a fair trial) he deserves whatever punishment the Americans choose to slap him with. Some take this view because they regard marijuana as dangerous and destructive, others because the result of Emery’s open goading of the Americans was quite foreseeable and they find it hard to sympathize.
But now there is a fresh wrinkle in the proceedings, one that even those most hostile to Emery’s cause should be able to see the absurdity of. Earlier this year Emery was able to arrange a plea bargain with U.S. prosecutors that would see him accept a 10-year sentence on their charges, of which he would serve half. Under the deal his co-accused colleagues would go free and Emery would serve the first 45 days of his sentence in the U.S., after which he would be returned to Canada to finish his stretch in a more comfortable Canadian prison.
All that was needed was the agreement of Canada’s department of justice. But last week, after a month of pessimistic media reports, they gave a final "No." The Americans insisted on guarantees against Emery being released before his five years was up, and such arrangements are forbidden in Canadian law, so no Canadian judge can order the application of such a sentence. That means Emery will have to go ahead with the extradition proceedings that were held over in the face of the plea-bargain, and face a possible life sentence down south.
Catch-22: because Canada is too humane and liberal to apply the punishment that the Americans would like -- a punishment Emery has voluntarily agreed to -- there appears to be no option but to hand him over to the Americans without protection against much worse treatment!
It is time for the Minister of Justice to exercise his prerogative and end an extradition farce that has become tainted with illogic as well as inhumanity. If we have a legitimate social interest in seeing Emery arrested, tried and imprisoned, why don’t we do it ourselves? Why was he permitted to run his business freely and openly in Vancouver for years (a business recommended to legal users of medical marijuana by Health Canada) and to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal and provincial taxes? How can a provision in the criminal law be taken seriously when it’s applied only upon the urging of a foreign government?
Canadian police, conscious of the awkwardness, are in fact starting to take belated and perhaps slightly shamefaced action against Emery’s fellow seed dealers. Earlier this month the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld a sentence imposed on Vancouver Island vendor Daniel Konstantin, who owned a prizewinning mail-order business advertised in High Times magazine and had been caught with about three pounds of seeds. Prosecutors had appealed the decision of the trial judge, who had given Konstantin a month in jail plus probation. They thought the sentence should have been all of 15 months. That’s how seriously Canadian justice takes this crime. And it is still a good deal more seriously than many Canadians, presumably including the 10 million among us who have tried marijuana at least once, would like.

Canadian Marc Emery, Canada's most prominent marijuana legalization activist, is at the top of the U.S, Drug Enforcement Agency's 'Most Wanted List' and now faces extradition to the U.S. and possible life imprisonment. His crime - selling marijuana seeds over the Internet.  An occupation he has never denied. In fact for more than a decade he has dutifully filed his income tax returns in Canada stating his occupation as "marijuana seed seller". He paid his taxes and was left alone by the Canadian authorities. However Canada's RCMP suddenly and willingly co-operated when the DEA got him in their sights.
Widely known as "The Prince of Pot," Emery is the joint smoking publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, founder of the BC Marijuana Party and a lifelong rabble-rouser.  And now, according to the DEA, one of the most wanted men in the drug world, up there with the heads of Columbian cocaine cartels, and the top drug trafficker in North America. His story is the prism through which director, Nick Wilson, examines the touchy issue of sovereignty, the long reach of U.S. drug laws, and Canadian pot culture, while spending the summer embedded at the Emery defense headquarters.
Emery believes marijuana is a wonderful, healing drug and that current laws are unconstitutional, inhumane, and detrimental to society, far outweighing the damage done to people by the drug itself.  No Canadian has ever gone to jail for selling seeds, and in 35 years only two people have been charged - the last got a $200 fine.  Yet Emery faces 30 years to life in prison under U.S. drug laws if he is extradited to face trail there.
THE PRINCE OF POT follows Emery through the summer and fall as he plots his defense, attends court hearings and tries to clear the names of his two friends who now face the same fate as him.
The Prince of Pot: The U.S. vs. Marc Emery is directed by Nick Wilson and produced by Anne Pick, Real to Reel Productions (Toronto).

5 Things You Can Do To Help Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams!

Three Canadians face life imprisonment in a US federal prison simply for political activities in Canada to legalize marijuana around the world.

Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams are Canadian citizens who were heavily involved in anti-prohibition activism in Canada for ten years. On May 28th, 2007 they will appear in a BC Supreme Court to begin the extradition hearing, scheduled to last 5 full days. The US Prosecutors will attempt to extradite these three Canadian cannabis activists to the US, where they face 10 years to life in prison.

We receive many emails and messages from people asking what they can do to help prevent Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams (the "BC3") from being extradited to the US to face a lifetime in prison. Here are five simple, concrete things that anyone can do to make a positive impact on this situation. If you can donate even two hours of spare time each week to doing some of these five things you will be making a real difference.

The first three things can and should be done by anyone in the world who supports this effort. The last two are for Canadians only. Please don't just read this list and then do nothing. This is a very crucial battle and one we must win.

1) Contact the Canadian Justice Minister regularly.

Canada's Justice Minister is currently Robert Nicholson of the Conservative Party. It is largely his decision whether Canada will extradite Marc Emery.

Please call these phone numbers twice every week, and politely repeat your message every time. The goal is to keep these lines constantly tied up with calls and voice mails about Marc Emery, so that the Justice Department phones are ringing steadily about the Emery case every day.

When you call, always be very polite. Your goal is not to get into a debate with the secretary. Just say that you are calling because it would "shock your conscience" for Marc Emery to be extradited to the US for alleged marijuana seeds crimes committed on Canadian soil. Say that you believe that if Marc has broken the law in Canada, he should be tried in Canada, under Canadian laws.

If they say you are calling the wrong number, ask what number you should dial. But still call them again the next week regardless!

No matter where you are in the world, please contact the Justice Minister every week. We definitely need active, vocal support from Americans and the international community. If you have access to a fax machine then please also send a daily or weekly fax supporting Marc Emery to each of these fax numbers, and particularly the Department of Justice.

The Honourable Robert Nicholson

Department of Justice Office
tel: (613) 992-4621

Fort Erie Office
tel: (905) 871-9991
fax: (905) 871-5046

Weekly phone calls, faxes, email and handwritten letters that are neatly, concisely composed are effective political pressure. When writing email or mail, ask for a response in writing.

2) Donate and buy

This raid means the end of Marc Emery Marijuana Seeds, which was the pioneering business which Marc Emery used to fund activist efforts around the world. Marc, Michelle and Greg will all have huge legal bills, while at the same time losing their assets, income and livelihood.

Please make a donation or purchase with the BC Marijuana Party , Cannabis Culture Magazine , or Marc Emery's Cannabis Culture Headquarters store.

3) Write to Canadian media

Please contact all of the following newspapers and magazines, with a new letter every week. Don't write a big long letter. Just write a short, snappy letter which offers your opinion on American efforts to extradite Marc Emery.

Don't just send one mass email to all of these media at once. Instead send them each individually the same emailed letter. Write one letter every week, different letters but on the same topic, and send them to every one of these media outlets every week.

4) Contact your MP and MLA

If you are in Canada, then contact both your MP and your MLA. Don't send them an email, make a phone call. Try to make an appointment for a personal visit. Also have every one of your friends and family members each make their own phone call as well. The more calls they receive the better.

You are not seeking your MP and MLA to support the legalization of marijuana. Just say that you are calling because you want your elected representative to oppose the extradition of any Canadian to a foreign country when their actions are not considered a serious crime in Canada.

Remind them that Emery is the leader of a legitimate political party, that the Canadian government has knowingly collected taxes from his US seed sales for a decade, and that Emery has operated openly without interference from Canadian police since 1998.

Tell your MP and MLA that Canada should not be sending political activists to jail in foreign countries, especially when their actions are not even considered to be an "arrestable offence" in Canada.

Your MP is your federal Member of Parliament. You can find your MP here: www.parl.gc.ca

Your MLA is your Provincial Member of the Legislature. You can find your MLA online here:

PEI: www.assembly.pe.ca/members/index.php

5) Rally in your community

If you are in Canada, then try to put on a rally in your community to protest this incursion of the US Drug War into Canada. The focus of your rally should not be on the marijuana laws, but rather that Canadians within Canada are not subject to US law. The Canadian courts and people have decided that selling marijuana seeds is a trivial, non-arrestable offence.

The Canadian government has steadily collected sizable taxes from Marc Emery's US seed sales for 10 years. If Emery has broken the law in Canada then he should be charged and tried here. If he has broken no laws in Canada then he should not be extradited to the US for a life sentence. Who will be next? Will US police start extraditing Canadians who perform gay marriages for visiting Americans?

If there is a US consulate office in your city then that is a good place to rally at. Otherwise find a park or other government building. Please contact us at the BC Marijuana Party and Cannabis Culture Magazine to let us know what you are up to. Tell us if you have contacted your elected representatives, if you are planning a rally, and what else you are doing to help preserve Canadian sovereignty and keep the US drug war out of Canada.

Thank you for your help. Marc Emery has devoted his life to ending the drug war and ensuring that marijuana seeds are available to anyone who wants to grow this wondrous herb. Please follow his lead, become active, and help to end this vicious war.
