I'm Canadian and I smoke weed sometimes and I think it's bullshit.
But seriously? You are running a marijuana seed business which ships to the US?
There is not a chance in the world that Emery didn't know he was walking on a legal tight rope with his seed business.
It IS seriously fucked up but if he hadn't done the crime...
I will be sending off a letter to the federal government protesting Emery's extradition. American prisons are famous for their overcrowded and abhorrent conditions. But if Emery didn't want to go to American prison why was he selling seeds to Americans?
Don't feel like going to a prison? Don't commit crimes.
This. This exactly.
Quote:
"My husband committed a crime punishable by only a $200 fine in Canada, yet this Conservative government is sending him to serve up to 25 years in US jail," Mrs Emery said in a press release on Thursday morning.
Maybe he should not have been selling seeds to people in the US?
$200 dollar fine in Canada you say? Keep it in Canada then!
Extradition sucks and seems unjust but at the same time US marijuana laws aren't exactly a secret.
