Marc Emery Sentenced to Jail

A judge in Saskatoon, Canada sentenced Marc Emery to three months in jail for trafficking for passing one joint into the crowd during last summer's smoke out tour. He had ten other marijuana-related convictions, including some for trafficking in connection with his marijuana seed business but until now they had merely fined him. This time the judge reportedly wanted to teach him a lesson. Three months seems a little steep to me and to his lawyer. Unfortunately he will probably serve it out while waiting for his appeal.

Marc meanwhile is prepared to do the time but vows to return to the defense and consumption of the plant upon his release.
