Marc Emery extradited to US

Canada's so-called "Prince of Pot" has been brought to the US where he is expected to plead guilty to selling marijuana seeds to US customers.

Marc Emery allegedly sold millions of marijuana seeds around the world by post.

He was ordered extradited by Canada's Minister of Justice Rob Nicholson on 10 May.

Mr Emery arrived in Seattle, Washington state, on Thursday and is expected to plead guilty on Monday.

Richard Troberman, Mr Emery's attorney, told the Associated Press news agency that his client would plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana in exchange for an agreed sentence of five years in prison.

Mr Emery, a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, said he had made $3m a year before his arrest in 2005.

Unfortunately, some of our current Canadian "leaders" are of the ilk that would like anyone who uses cannabis to be condemned to the deepest regions of hell. If it were up to them we would have equally severe jail sentences as the U.S. Gotta keep those with alternate belief systems in check you know, and besides, it's good for the economy! ;)

A Terrible, inexcusable injustice.

I was gonna reprise the previously used one-liner about sending him back, but this actually isn't funny at all.

For the life of me, I don't see why Canada allowed this extradition to take place, knowing the unreasonable lengths of sentencing for pot "offenses" in the US.
