Marc Emery, president of the British Columbia Marijuana Party, would fire Vancouver's entire police force and deliver heroin and cocaine to addicts in their homes if his candidacy for Vancouver's top job is successful.Emery, an outspoken pot advocate who bills himself as the world's largest vendor of marijuana seeds and is the publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, took out $25,000 worth of advertising in today's newspapers to announce he is running for mayor and to outline his campaign.

| While saying he's serious about his campaign, Emery laughed heartily when asked if he'd change his name to Ernest Jane if he won, making his official title Mayor E. Jane. "I've got to remember that if I ever write a satire on pot," he said. Every day American journalists are writing satires on pot but unfortunately their editors keep trying to pass them off as serious news. [ Post Comment ] |
