"By Paul Armentano, AlterNet.
Since 1972, U.S. taxpayers have spent well over $20 billion enforcing criminal marijuana laws and 16.5 million people have been arrested. It's time to put an end to this waste."

 Canadian activist and cannabis seed producer Marc Emery and two co-workers were arrested on 29 July by their own government upon the request of the US Drugs Enforcement Administration (DEA). He now runs the risk of being extradited to the USA where he may get life in jail or even the death penalty for selling cannabis seeds to US citizens over the Internet.
It is important that we all protest against this dangerous escalation of the War on Drug Users. If the US succeeds in imposing its will on Canada, New Zealand could be next!
NORML is organising protests at the Canadian Consulate in Auckland, and Cashell Mall in Christchurch, on Saturday 10 September 2005. Join us there!
