POT TRUTH CAN GET YOU JAILED

If outspoken Canadian marijuana activist and seed entrepreneur Marc
Emery is guilty of anything, it's telling the truth about marijuana
prohibition. Canada is now faced with choosing between its sovereignty
and U.S. president George W. Bush's punitive culture war. If health
outcomes determined drug laws instead of cultural norms, marijuana
would be legal. And if harsh penalties deterred non-traditional
consensual vices, the former land of the free and current record
holder for citizens incarcerated would be a "drug-free" America.
