Photos: Marijuana activists protest Marc Emery's extradition in North Vancouver

Looks like most of the "activists" stayed at home on the couch with a bag of Doritos. More photos than protesters...

Gee, he said he had "millions of supporters" but it looks like a dozen or less.

You can't judge activism just by the number of people who show up, ESPECIALLY at a local MP's office. The global marijuana march in Toronto had 40,000+ people smoking up with Marc Emery right there in the middle of it. Even a small protest gets the word out and lets people know there is an injustice being done. Don't belittle those who weren't there, instead, support those who were.

Is it just me, or don't laws against nature seem a little unnatural?

Why does the Conservative party wish to ignore science, judges, Parliamentary committees and the Senate to wage a "cultural war" against the majority of Canadians who didn't vote for them?

If they wish to impose their version of "morality" and waste billions of dollars in tax payer money building prisons to imprison non-violent Canadians (at a time when violent crime in Canada is at a 30 year low), shouldn't they at the very least read the 'Holy book' they so often cite as the basis of their philosophical and moral underpinnings?

"Its amino acid profile is close to "complete" when compared to more common sources of proteins such as meat, milk, eggs and soy.[20] The proportions of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid in one tablespoon (15 ml) per day of hemp oil easily provides human daily requirements for EFAs. Unlike flaxseed oil, hemp oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs...[21]

The reasons for this lack of deterrence include the fact that they bar judges from using their discretion to sentence individuals”¦” http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Sites/LOP/LegislativeSummaries/Bills_ls.asp?lang=...

why is there no pictures of all the writing on the building the protesters did,it was only in chalk but still needed cleaning the activist did clean up their garbage but no one stayed to clean up the graffiti

Really? A get together of six people warrants this much attention?

Marijuana is a drug.

Discussion ended.

beezlebub, there was no mention of whether or not the protesters were employed. So, why would you assume they were on welfare or EI? I find your comment incredibly illogical and irrelevant to the topic of the story. What is your point, exactly?

Rucka Ali....Pot hurts nobody, the prohibition of pot hurts people. It was the same thing when alcohol was made illegal from 1920 to 1933. When alcohol was made illegal back them, crime grew out of control. At the present moment, it is criminals who benefit from the drug trade, because criminals regulate the market. Marijuana has only been illegal here for just over 70 years. There was no problems with it before then.....We need the government to tax, and regulate marijuana. This will put all the criminals out of business, like it did when they began to tax and regulate alcohol.......Look at countries like Holland, Spain and Portugal. These countries governments have been taxing and regulating marijuana with great success.

Hey Jimmy, WRONG - Pot hurts those who smoke it. Your lungs weren't designed for smoke. Clear enough?????
