cannabisnews.com: NORML's Weekly News Bulletin -- August 4, 2005 NORML's Weekly News Bulletin -- August 4, 2005 Posted by CN Staff on August 04, 2005 at 15:01:06 PT Weekly Press Release Source: NORML US Seeks Extradition Of Marc Emery For Internet Seed SalesAugust 4, 2005 - Vancouver, BC, CanadaVancouver, British Columbia: Canadian law enforcement officers, acting on a warrant issued by federal officials in Washington state, arrested longtime cannabis activist Marc Emery and two others late last week for violating US marijuana laws. American officials are seeking to extradite Emery to the United States, where he could face ten years to life in prison on charges that he distributed cannabis seeds to various individuals within the US. For nearly ten years, Emery had openly operated an online cannabis seed bank in the Hastings neighborhood of Vancouver, where he maintained a high profile in the area's business and political community as publisher of the magazine Cannabis Culture and founder of the BC Marijuana Party, among other activities. Vancouver police disregarded Emery's seed sales; however, a federal grand jury in Seattle indicted him in May on charges of "conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, conspiracy to distribute marijuana seeds, and conspiracy to engage in money laundering." US law enforcement officials claim to have linked Emery's seeds to marijuana seizures in numerous states, including Florida, Indiana, and New Jersey.Canadian law enforcement officers executed the arrest warrant against Emery and two colleagues, Gregory Williams and Michelle Rainey, on Friday in accordance with a US/Canadian treaty allowing for "mutual assistance on criminal matters." All three individuals have been granted bail and are expected to be free on bond imminently.Extradition hearings for Emery, Williams, and Rainey could take up to one year or longer. None of the three defendants have been charged with violating Canadian drug laws.NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre questioned why Canadian authorities would be willing to extradite Emery for activities that had been consistently ignored by local law enforcement and are punishable by little, if any penalty in his native country."Why are Canadian authorities, who had chosen not to prosecute Emery for his Internet seed business, now cooperating with US efforts to extradite and try him under America's far more stringent federal laws?" St. Pierre asked. "It's as if Canada has relinquished its sovereignty in regards to drug law enforcement to become a lapdog of the US Drug Enforcement Administration."For more information, please contact either Allen St. Pierre or Keith Stroup of NORML at (202) 483-5500.

Activation of specific receptors promotes healing of the gastrointestinal membrane, and could offer therapeutic relief to patients suffering from inflammatory disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, authors found.The study's findings are "the first [clinical] evidence that very selective cannabis-derived treatments may be useful as future therapeutic strategies in the treatment" of inflammatory bowel disease, said lead author Karen Wright.A previous 2003 review published in the journal Expert Opinion in Investigative Drugs noted that the human digestive tract contains various endogenous cannabinoids (marijuana-like compounds produced naturally by the body) and cannabinoid receptors, and theorized that cannabinoids may one day "provide new therapeutics for the treatment of a number of gastrointestinal diseases," including gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.For more information, please contact Paul Armentano, NORML Senior Policy Analyst, at (202) 483-5500.

This is puzzling. According to the DEA, his seed business raked in millions. We may be able to make a few guesses.I would guess that either Emery got really smart, knew the fascists were closing in (evidence suggests this) and had his money transferred into a more secure safe, where the DEA and/or the ass-kissing libs of the PM Martin party could not reach it, or he made a lot of smart investments and spread it around (this too, is possible), gaining grateful associates in the process. Whatever the case, its nice to know that the fascists didn't get their hands on it.

By day's end Friday, one suspect lay dead in the rugged hills after a gunbattle, one Fish and Game warden was shot by an accomplice guarding the pot field -- the first shooting of an agent in the 21-year history of the raids -- and authorities had seized as many as 50,000 plants, much more than they found during all of last year, investigators said. Camouflaged sheriff's deputies carrying rifles scoured the steep hills above Los Gatos all day and throughout the night searching for another suspect who fled the early-morning raid. Authorities were to continue the search today. "They're being more confrontational because there's a lot more marijuana out there," said Bob Cooke, special agent in charge of the California Department of Justice Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement in San Jose. One suspect has been killed in raids each of the past two years, and agents have been shot at -- but never hit, Cooke said.

Martin Luther King was considered a criminal by racist government interests for leading non-violent resistance to segregation laws.

However, all of them held high moral ground.

There is no provision for voter initiatives. The ruling party dictates how Members of Parliament should vote. Canadian "Drug" Laws, including cannabis, are considered to be Federal juridiction, not Provincial or Local. All laws must obtain Royal assent from the Governor General, the Queen's representative. The only reason medical cannabis is legal in Canada is because of court challenges under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The government of Canada has been extremely reluctant to endorse any credible and scientifically-based change to the long-standing racist cannabis prohibition.

I know where you stand, FoM. I would love Jose or someone else with Lexis/Nexis, law books or other resources who can look up US federal laws regarding abuse of federal power and see if this DEA action is potentially a prosecutable abuse of power for political reasons.Jose, you seem to be especially adept at this kind of research.

[ Post Comment ] Comment #14 posted by Max Flowers on August 05, 2005 at 10:10:52 PT Another thing Reading it again, I have another big problem with Tandy's statement. She said"Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada."It strikes me that those profits cannot be legally deemed illicit if they are not illicit in the country in which they were generated. In this case, they were Canadian profits, earned in Canada, and I don't see how in the jurisdictional legal sense DEA can get away with calling them illicit. Canadian law would first have to deem them illicit, and that's not going to happen.I think DEA really screwed up here and has put someone who is very ignorant of questions of law up front to answer questions, and in doing so she is revealing the illegal nature of their activities.

I just read a statement from DEA fuhrer Karen Tandy that seems to indicate illegal political motivations behind the Emery arrest. I'll post the relevant excerpt here and then ask my question:"Today's arrest of Mark (sic) Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the US and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement... Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on."My question is, isn't it itself a violation of any federal law to abuse federal law enfocement powers and resources to go after (persecute) someone in order to derail their political efforts, and because they dislike that someone's political beliefs? That has to be illegal, and Tandy just admitted it in black and white in that official DEA statement.

"The decision in HIA v. DEA is a huge boost to the hemp food market, and we expect to see many more hemp food products on store shelves," says David Bronner, maker of the AlpSnackR organic hemp nutrition bar and Chair of the HIA Food and Oil Committee. "The three judge panel agreed with our main argument that the DEA's 'Final Rule' ignores Congress's specific exemption in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) under the definition of marihuana that excludes hemp seed and oil from control along with hemp fiber. Based on today's decision, the court reasonably views trace insignificant amounts of THC in hemp seed in the same way as it sees trace amounts of opiates in poppy seeds," says Bronner.
