  • An Updated Review of the Risks and Harms Associated to the Use Of
    An Updated Review of the Research on the Risks and Harms Associated to the Use of Marijuana Dr Darryl Plecas, Jordan Diplock and Len Garis; Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research, School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University College of the Fraser Valley Introduction Currently and in recent years, there is a continued debate over the personal use of marijuana in North America and around the world. The debate remains adversarial and is receiving a large amount of public attention in various media. It is commonplace for former supporters of the existing drug control policies to publicly announce their changes of opinion. In British Columbia, several former Attorneys General joined a growing number of activists looking for decriminalization and legalization (Mulgrew, 2012). In early 2012, the former US District Attorney, John McKay, who prosecuted Marc Emery, a Canadian, for selling marijuana seeds to American residents, has publicly denounced prohibition policies (CBC News, 2012). At the same time, the focus of the marijuana debate continues to be dominated by arguments about how prohibition does nothing more than put money into the pockets of organized crime, punish otherwise law abiding citizens, violate people’s right to put whatever they want into their bodies, and throw good tax dollars after bad on a failed war on drugs (Harris, 2012). Decriminalization or legalization of marijuana, the advocates commonly argue, is really the only sensible solution. What seems to have become increasingly lost in the debate over the personal use of marijuana, however, is a consideration of the negative effects that marijuana can have on users and how those harms can be addressed within any policy direction.

  • To Mister James Wall Ambassador of Canada to the Netherlands
    The Hague, May 22nd, 2010 To mister James Wall Ambassador of Canada to the Netherlands Today we join the worldwide protest rally to free Canadian cannabis activist Marc Emery, who was extradited to the USA this week. We request you to consider the facts below and do everything in your power to make sure Marc Emery will not spend five years in an American prison. In the Netherlands, sale of cannabis seeds is legal. The VOC (Vereniging voor Opheffing van het Cannabisverbod: Association for the abolition of cannabis prohibition) is convinced that cannabis should and will be legal. Marc Emery is not a criminal and should not be treated as such. • Marc Emery is a Canadian citizen who never went to the USA as a seed seller. • Marc Emery operated his seed business in Canada at all times, with no American branches or employees. • Marc Emery declared his income from marijuana seed sales on his income tax, and paid over $580,000 to the Federal and Provincial governments from 1999 to 2005. • Marc Emery is the leader of the British Columbia Marijuana Party, a registered political party that has regularly participated in elections. • Marc Emery has never been arrested or convicted of manufacturing or distributing marijuana in Canada, as he only sold seeds. • Marc Emery gave away all of the profits from his seed business to drug law reform lobbyists, political parties, global protests and rallies, court litigation, medical marijuana initiatives, drug rehabilitation clinics, and other legitimate legal activities and organizations. • Marc Emery helped found the United States Marijuana Party, state-level political parties, and international political parties in countries such as Israel and New Zealand.
