Marc Emery to be extradited to U.S.

In light of US decriminalization this seems ridiculous, but maybe that's the point?

Vancouver marijuana activist Marc Emery is taking his last puff of freedom -- as the clock counts down on an extradition order that will send him to a U.S. jail for five years.

Mr. Emery, founder of the B.C. Marijuana Party and publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, is currently out on bail waiting for Federal Justice Minister and Attorney General Rob Nicholson to sign the extradition order, which can be done any time after Friday.

Mr. Emery says he will not turn fugitive, but will obey the order, when it comes.

Until then, Mr. Emery, often referred to as B.C.'s Prince of Pot, is making the most of his last days of freedom.

"I've been enjoying every moment of it out with my wife. We are just living day to day," he said.

"How is this even legal? Why isn't the Canadian government doing anything? Kowtowing to America is wrong. "

Well then, I guess the Canadians should consider electing politicians who have something resembling a spine.

The US and Canada suffer from the same problem, the difference being one of extent, not kind: brain-dead politicians elected through the vote of the brain-dead majority. That's kind of a structural policy with democracy.

Emery's extradition will strengthen our movement and fuel the growing anti-American sentiment amongst Canadians.

We don't want him, send him back to Canada!

(Yes, that was sarcasm.)
