Marc Emery Agrees: Marijuana Activists Who Oppose Prop 19 Are Wrong


From Cannabis Culture Magazine:
But first, let me explain that opponents of Richard Lee's initiative fall into three groups. The first group is the police and prison industry, represented by their unions and spokespeople...The second group includes the cartels, thugs, street gangs, large commercial growers, commercial medical marijuana growers and their dependents that make exploitative profits taking full advantage of prohibition-inflated prices...The third group is the so-called old guard of the cannabis or medical marijuana movement. The wonderful Proposition-215 pioneer Denis Peron is one, but there are many others.
A brilliantly articulated defense of Proposition 19, he takes on the "marijuana activists" and "professional stoners" who claim to be insiders but have the most to lose by a change in the status quo.  If a pro-cannabis individual you know has bought into any of these myths, please show him or her this article.  We have a chance to make history in November.  It will be a sad day indeed if we are defeated not by the law enforcement special interests or the puritanical moralists but by the greed and selfishness of our own.
