Join the Fight for the BC3
November 18th, 2008 by Perry
The BC3 needs your help.
Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams are Canadians heavily involved in American anti-prohibition activism for the last 10 years, though remained in Canada throughout. All three are now facing lengthy sentences in federal prison for their pro-marijuana activism.
Emery recently had a plea deal arranged with the American and Canadian governments, where he agreed to serve five years for his part in a running a company that was at one point thought to be the largest importer of marijuana seeds in North America.
Emery was planning to use the time to work for the movement, his political party and a campaign to “overgrow the government” while in prison, and has said several times he has come to terms with the eventuality.
At the last minute however, the Canadian government reneged on the deal and now Emery will have to face another extradition trial June 9, 2009.
Marc had no business outlets in the USA, and never went to the USA to conduct seed transactions. Everything was done openly and transparently in Vancouver, BC. Marc even paid Revenue Canada and Revenue BC half a million dollars in taxes for his income as a “marijuana seed vendor.”
If you wish, here’s the number for Canada’s Minister of Justice to show support or voice your opinion: (613) 957-4222
As the article points out:
If Canadians have broken the law in Canada, they should be given a fair jury trial in Canada. If they wouldn’t face any severe imprisonment in Canada for the charges laid, they should not be extradited to another country to face possible life imprisonment for those same charges.
Canada’s Pot Prince Warns of “Creeping Jackboots”
November 12th, 2008 by Perry
An internationally known pot and personal freedoms activist, Marc Emery refers to himself as Canada’s “Crown Prince of Pot” for his outspoken opposition to marijuana laws everywhere. Opposition which has garnered much attention for his cause and ire from law enforcement from B.C. to D.C..
Emery has been a constant voice of opposition to police tactics which he says violate basic human rights on a consistent basis. His most recent article warns of “Creeping Jackboots” in reference to recent laws passed in Canada which allow for “electricity police” and officials to enter an individual’s home without warrant based on suspicion.
The Global Marijuana March 2007
May 2nd, 2007 by Tim
The Global Marijuana March is coming. Saturday, May 5th 2007, mark your calendars!
The Prince of Pot himself, Marc Emery has been invited to lead The 2007 Global Marijuana March in Toronto, Ontario. Since the event is scheduled for world-wide exposure, the march will take place in more than 233 cities across the planet. The goals of the rallies are to raise awareness and demand the legalization of marijuana, for good.
Others attendees such as Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams will host another march located in Vancouver, BC. Their names may sound a little familiar because they (including Marc Emery) are fighting against US extradition for selling cannabis seeds for nearly ten years. If convicted, they potentially face life sentences. Extradition hearings begin May 28th, 2007 – find out what you can do to help the BC3.
Come out and support our culture!

Marc Emery on CBC TV: This video shows why Marc Emery is the premier face of the legalization movement. He’s intelligent, well-spoken and just sounds like a cool guy to smoke out with. On top of that, he makes some great points about the US government, extradition and legalization in general.

2006 Stoner Voters Guide
August 31st, 2006 by Alex
Marc has done just about everything he can to facilitate action. He’s written about the House of Representatives, how & when to vote, using MySpace to further the cause, useful tips on how to initiate conversation, information on RockTheVote.com and then he starts going state-by-state on who he supports and who you should contact. Wow. Guess Marc blows the old lazy stoner myth right out of the water.
Since tFS is based in California, we are going to transcribe Marc’s section on who he supports for Governor:
Congratulations, Marc
