No one belongs in prison for just Cannabis for sure.
That said, he did some real stupid things and paid the price for his stupidity. He says he will not sell seeds anymore, maybe the 4 years helped him learn he was being stupid the way he did it?
Funny thing, the world of Cannabis has changed more in the last 4 years that Marc has been in jail then in all the years he spent trying to do much the same.
Not saying he should go back, just odd in a way? I wonder if he is relevant any more, without his seed money funding his agenda?
If you want to smuggle seeds leave it to professionals, and don't brag about it and all the money you make in the Wall Street Journal, and other USA news sources. Stupid he did not see it coming, many predicted it would happen. Maybe he has learned? Maybe?
People that live in grass houses should not throw stones, or something like that.
As for his tolerance returning, that is a good thing? I always find I enjoy having zero tolerance much more then having a high tolerance, as I can get so blasted on so little, or just keep smoking anyway to get really really higher. To me having a high tolerance is not a good thing, having potent Cannabis with no ceiling is, so you can get as high as you want with a high tolerance or not. Not that I smoke herbal Cannabis, I prefer dry sift because you always can get higher, no matter what your tolerance....
And I prefer up clear cerebral highs to the physical, narcotic, couch lock WLD Indica Cannabis or it's Hybrids, that is so popular today. But different smokes for different folks....

yeah, and one of the dumbest things was to rip off his USA customers and then threaten to narc on them to LEO when they complained that they weren't receiving their seeds!
i dunno about his seed selling practices or anything, but i do know that the reason the face of marijuana has changed so drastically over the last 4-5 years is because of people like him.
for that we should be giving props not saying told you so's.
when RC and the rest of the guys who ran overgrow are released or come out of hiding/prison/whatever are we gonna be talking shit at them too for "doing stupid things" that got them locked/popped or are we gonna be thanking them for their efforts to make weed legal/decrim/medical in close to and soon to be more than half of the US?
without overgrow i probably would not know as much about weed as i do now. it only dawned on me recently how invaluable overgrow was and once it got shut down how we almost could have all been driven back underground.
no seed sales on hundreds to thousands of different websites now, no seedbays or weedmaps or **********s, no gg#4 spreading global through word of pictures(picture of mouth?), no legalization in col or wa, no charlottes webs, no sanjay gupta weed specials, no obama i smoked weed too. if it wasn't for people like these who got arrested, took risks to go big, the rest of us would never see them and think i can do it too, or hey weed maybe isn't that bad. might have just made everyone else buy into the propaganda more, and allow the cops to come down harder.

Way to be typically snarky and yet not, Sam. (passive aggressive much ?) The Man was incarcerated for 4 years, just pick Him apart, Brah..
As they say in Soccer, "At this level, One has to do better than that."
I would say to ME, no one's perfect, it was a weird time, thanks for the sacrifice, and sorry for what My country did to You and your family,

negative peeps will be negative peeps...they love to make sure you hear their negative point of view....maybe he did some things not to your liking but he still made it where peeps on this side of the fence could get some good genetics...he sat down for four years for his mistakes ....jeeeeez give the guy a break...DJXX
..... hey, my bad, don't let me rain on your parade with a dose of reality!
Carry on....

Glad that another weed prisoner has been released. That time gave him some knowledge. When you go to the big house, you learn more than you knew before you went in.. That guy has got a plan. You heard me say it first, watch the Emery's go big time.
really? I mean do you think he's still relevant? (whatever the fuck that means)

well thats good to see he still got the drive to thrive much respect to emery !
I always thought you built a tolerance to cannabis no matter weather its hash or weed or what the quality was. You learn something everyday
I hate tolerance breaks their the bain of my life. So do people become more easily tolerant to Indicas than Sativas ? Does anyone know why ?

Not sure but I suspect terpenes.
It also helps if the weed the hash is made from has no or little ceiling.

Better hide yo teenage daughters BC! I bet Marc's hella thirsty after all those years!
^That.
Open up your eyes, putting blinders on and believing everything green is gold is just foolish. Sometimes having the loudest, most egotistical, self-promoting voice in the room on your side can be a negative. As well, Sam is a legitimate breeder, why would he have any soft feelings for someone who caused brought a shitstorm to the industry, for little else than his own personal fame?
But maybe we shouldn't rock the boat, or this thread will disappear in the grand effort to preserve the idolatry of everything cannabis.

you're not rocking any boats you're just making bellend comments about someone who has done more than sit on his ass typing shit into a forum - and done 4 years for it
similarly stop kiss assing sam cos all I see in his post is ego and as for this :
''As for his tolerance returning, that is a good thing?

SB, I hear you. But we shouldn't let Marc Emery be a martyr and a hero for this community when he hasn't been. He's a self-centered businessman who is enamoured with the idea that he's the Prince of Pot and enjoys all the attention he gets. He screwed over a lot of customers over the years. He did 4 years because he goaded the Feds as if he were untouchable and allowed his desire for a big ego to get in the way. If you knew a buddy who grew pot and went down to spit on the floor of the local PD and said "I grow pot, fuck you" to the cops, you'd call him an idiot. No one should be in jail for cannabis, and I never once was happy to see him locked up, but there are actual heroes in the legalization movement, and Marc Emery is not one of them. His actions had more to do with self-aggrandizing than legalization, and he did more harm than good. Legalization didn't advance one real step(you can make arguments about every person contributing to a chance of society's overall attitude, but frankly I think on that side he did more harm than good as well) because of Marc Emery, but he certainly did stir the shitpot and bring a whole lot of heat down upon the whole BC community with his behavior.
