Prince of Pot rally planned for City Hall Park

Red Deer Advocate
 
A rally will be held in support of Canada’s “Prince of Pot” in City Hall Park on Saturday as part of a world-wide protest.
 
Marijuana activist Marc Emery was sentenced to five years in prison on Sept. 10 by a U.S. federal judge in Seattle, Wash.
 
He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana in May.
 
The owner of Vancouver’s Cannabis Culture store was extradited to the United States after being charged with shipping millions of marijuana seeds to customers south of the border.
 
The organizer of the Red Deer rally, which that will run from noon to 4:20 p.m., says it will be a peaceful event.

Marc Emery US Prison Blog #12: Letter to Jodie

By Marc Emery, Cannabis Culture
 
Oh dear, my sweet Jodie, I feel wobbly today. I've a sore throat, a woozy head and a stuffy nose. I'm drinking hot liquids and lots of water, getting sleep, but these next few days will be trying. And I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous about sentencing coming up on the 10th. Most inmates do get jumpy because its the biggest uncertainty of any prisoner, the sentencing! Even though I have an agreement in principle on a 5-year sentence, I'm still nervous that the judge could make it a longer sentence. So the next 10 days will be a little unnerving.

Marc Emery US Prison Blog #11: Letter to Jodie

Dearest Jodie: It was a tremendous visit with you on Sunday morning. I am so proud of you for doing such a great job speaking at Hempfest. I know Jeremiah is uploading the videos of your speeches to Youtube (found here), then shared on the Cannabisculture.com and FREEMARC.ca websites. I can't wait to hear the feedback!

I had a challenging week as you know. The no-flesh diet they give me is so terribly poor, of the 14 meals I get here weekly, 5 of them substitute the meat of the others with a packet of peabnut butter, that's it. And as you know, I don't eat peanut butter. So I go hungry 5 meals out of 14. Then on two of the other remaining nine meals, they give me a 5-spoonful carton of cottage cheese. The other seven have soy or cheese substitutes, almost always very poorly prepared and simply reheated. It's so discouraging. I eat all the apples, oranges, bananas I can get, sometimes the other inmates give me theirs but I have to eat them right away because we are not allowed to have food from the "kitchen" in our rooms, which causes a massive amount of waste as so much fruit & food is just thrown out because if you don't eat it in 15 minutes at sit-down, into the garbage it has to go. The rules are absurd and cause so much waste and, in my case, hunger and malnutrition.
