Officials say Emery sold marijuana to undercover agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration both by mail and in person.
Did they go to buy them in Canada?
Hard to see how they can make a case.

Emery, a self-styled activist who once called himself a "libertarian capitalist,"....his marijuana party's slogan is "overgrowing the government." OK...

Catch as catch can. This bugger's caught.
Seattle done good. Now, make sure he gets tried in Seattle, and does every last second of his sentence in a U.S. federal prison.

He's mostly selling the seeds by mail.
IMHO, he's an entrepreneur filling a need in the market.
This is stupid. It smacks of the prohibition.

I had a false arelia.
The neighborhood kids picked the leaves off the thing until it almost died.
What killed it, my at ate it to death when we brought it in to protect it from the neighborhood kids.
However.. the False Arelia is relevant because the neighborhood cops thought it was the real deal as well.

"It's not unusual for Canadian police to arrest a person who has committed a serious crime in another country. What's unusual about this case is that they are arresting a person for conduct that attracts very serious penalties in one country and potentially no penalties in Canada," Boyd said. The age of consent in America varies from 14-18 and around the world can go even lower. It is a crime for an American to have sex with anyone under 18 in another country regardless of age of consent in that person's home state or in the visiting nation. It is part of the legislation to end sexual tourism.
There are "potentially" no penalties for a number of crimes but it is even odder to see Americans charged when they violate no law at home or abroad.
Pot is not legal in Canada even if they look the other way.

Emery Seeds has been raided by the DEA and is shut down for the time being.
We need your help!
Please come to Victory Square Park (Hastings and Cambie, Vancouver BC) Sat July 30 at 2:00 PM.
We will have a rally in defiance of this police action and in celebration of our cannabis culture. FREE MARIJUANA!

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm ... how would this be different than arresting someone in the USA for flushing a Koran down a toilet and extraditing them to Saudi Arabia?
