High Crimes or a tokin’ figure?

VANCOUVER - Sweet marijuana smoke tumbles down the steps from “the Vapor Lounge,” a corner of Marc Emery’s bookstore where customers toke up at will.

“We get high with everybody,” Emery says, shrugging. “This is a pilgrimage spot, and people come here from all over the world. We get high.”

Illegal? Yes.

Emery is “one of the attorney general’s most wanted international drug trafficking targets,” the DEA in Washington crowed on July 29, 2005, announcing an extradition request for Emery and two employees. Emery’s bust, the DEA said, was “a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade but also to the marijuana legalization movement.”

“What Canada does or does not do is not particularly relevant to us,” he says. “We are prosecuting him for what he did in our country – distributing millions and millions of marijuana seeds in the United States. When someone does that, the United States has the obligation to enforce our laws whether that person is physically located here or overseas.”
