| Marc & Jodie Emery |
Marc Emery returned home to his
wife and Canada a free man on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 @ 4:20pm EDT after
serving 5 years in a US Federal Prison for selling seeds. Dressed in a T-Shirt,
Shorts and, a brand new pair of Nike gym shoes, Marc was flown in shackles and
chains from Louisiana to Minnesota and dropped off in Toledo where he was
driven to the Detroit/Windsor tunnel. At
the Canadian border the chains and shackles were removed and, he was released to
his wife at the Windsor Police Station to a cheering crowd of supporters.

He
was met at the Windsor Police Station by his wife Jodie and a crowd of
international supporters with some of the best BC Bud you could get your lips
on. Marc Emery gave a 1 hour interview
to the press and the people regarding his time in the USA. He was VERY complimentary of the United States
and the progress made in decriminalizing Marijuana and stated the USA is
farther ahead than Canada and that Canadian youth must participate in the
upcoming election in 2015. Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is about where George Bush was and, Michigan
Attorney General Bill Schuette is on Freeing the Weed.

Marc’s message was very clear
regarding the importance of participating in the political process by voting.
He quoted Martin Luther King and is well read on the struggles of Malcolm X and
the Civil Rights movement. He spent time in Mississippi with prisoners who were
sympathetic to his plight and received thousands of letters supporting him from
American citizens who are tired of being victims of a losing war on drugs. He
was very adamant and insisted that voting is VERY important if people want true
change in their communities.Currently, Marc is banned forever to return
to the United States of America because of his “conviction”. Marc made the point clear by inferring that “By
voting and participating in the political process, laws will be changed so that employees of the people like President Obama, Gov. Snyder, Mayor Duggan and, other elected
officials can sign laws and ordinances to remove prohibition on people like
Marc Emery, Adam Brook and, Ryan Bashore so that they can travel to different
countries without fear because of their political beliefs.”

Marc and Jodie emery are planning a
30 day tour through Canada to start the removal process of current Prime Minister
Stephen Harper by registering and taking people to vote by 2015. In America, the
current crop of Presidential Candidates for 2016 are totally weak when it comes
to Marijuana decriminalization. There is
an election in Michigan on November 5, 2014 at 7am EDT with early voting
starting two weeks prior to that date. Voting
Locations at Wayne County Community College East and West Campus have free
parking whereas Election Central on Grand Boulevard is closer for people who
are driving around downtown/midtown.

Finally I let him know that he is
welcome to come to City of Detroit anytime and, gave Marc and Jodie a hug with
an apology on behalf of the residents of District 2, the City of Detroit, State
of Michigan and, the People of the United States of America for the pain and suffering
that we put on his family because of failed drug war managed by few people with a misguided agenda.
