CBC's coverage of Marc's sentence in Saskatoon. Quotes from Marc Emery, his lawyer, prosecuting attorney and supporters
Marc wants everyone to know that the prison has ignored his requests for humane treatment. Marc saw the medical staff and requested dental strips, his medication, and (once again) appropriate food. They ignored his requests.He hasn't received any mail yet... but we'll see if tomorrow's the same. He asks that people continue to call the jail on a regular basis, always curteously of course, and ask that they tend to his basic human needs.
Call (306) 956-8800 also try Shawn Bird Coordinator Correctional Operations(306) 765-8040.

PORT RICHMOND-August 22, 2004 — Police say the firefighters who perished in the basement of 3630 Belgrade Avenue in Port Richmond died in a tangled web of wires, high intensity lamps and fans that were rigged in a basement closet to grow marijuana.
*- Despite the tragedy of this event it is important to remember that like the dangerous moonshine stills of the days of alocohol prohibition, the type of dangerous grow room described above, is largely due to the illegality of marijuana. |

TORONTO — A marijuana protest turned nasty Saturday when at least two people were detained during scuffles with city police on a park lawn near the provincial legislature. The dustup started after police -- accompanied by municipal bylaw officers and parks officials -- shut down the Canabian Day festival, a pro-pot rally when Toronto organizers failed to produce the necessary permits and insurance.

| Pot-TV | Marc Emery Interview From Prison

Chris Bennett talks to Marc Emery from the Saskatoon Prison where he is serving 3 months for passing a joint. In an outrageous verdict that condemns Marc for "political" activism, Judge D. Albert Lavoie abused his authority and made an "example" of Marc's case. This case symbolizes the travesty of current Canadian Marijuana Policy. Marc asks everybody to email and write the Justice Minister Irwin Cotler now and demand liberty for Canada's cannabis culture.
The Criminal Code gives the Minister of Justice the power to review a conviction to determine whether there may have been a miscarriage of justice. This power has been part of Canada's justice system since the original Criminal Code of 1892. Today, the Minister's power to review convictions is set out in sections 696.1-696.6 in Part XXI.1 of the Criminal Code.
The Honourable Irwin Cotler Minister of Justice and Attourney General of Canada

It’s not often that police are ordered to hand the contents of a marijuana grow operation back to the very people they confiscated it from. But that’s the decision a court of law made Wednesday regarding two police raids on a local compassion club.
