Marc Emery: "First of all, we are not losing customers at all. We have never had so much interest in the seeds we sell. Any problems experienced can be dealt with if the complainants stay polite, but once they become abusive or begin posting heated, crazed rhetoric, then we terminate any interest in dealing with that person.
I find this abusive behaviour unfathomable considering we have their address and pertinent details of what they are doing but somehow feel they can abuse us and provoke us. I wouldn't be doing that to anyone I had sent written proof to that I was growing marijuana/requesting marijuana seeds.
Fortunately, we have never had to resort to dealing severly with miscreants who don't understand their self-incrimination."

If that is his quote, it's easy to see how some people would get upset about it. It's also easy to see a far less sinister implication. Logic. If you are in business and know the DEA, etc. are after you, and you get attacked out of left field in a bizarre way, that is not typical of interactions with a normal customer with a complaint, you might think they are informants, feds, etc. That could be the point he was making. A normal customer knowing what is going down wouldn't go off the handle and attack...
I'm curious about something. You seem to know much about Marc Emery's business? Yet you seem to support the DEA in another post? That's not typical. What gives?

The irony of the DEA taking Narc down makes me giddy.

Narc knew these were genuine customers and he threatened their personal information...

That giddy seems almost like narc behavior.
I don't ever want to see anybody taken down for marijuana.
And I do not want my taxes to go to putting him on trial or to jail him or Michelle Rainey for the rest of their lives. Give it to the arts, buy kids some instruments, build a local teen arts center, buy the kids some sports equipment for a sandlot kid run, league instead...
Narc knew these were genuine customers and he threatened their personal information...
Quit spinning and admit what it is.
You know what was in Mark's head? hmm. My experience tells me it could be either way. Yeah some people get big headed. It's true. Some also have egos and get a little paranoid (and often for good reason!), thinking anybody against them must be a cop, etc..
The fact that you think you know what Mark was thinking, is interesting. What proof beyond that quote. I need more. I'm not close minded or all knowing. Never met Mark.
In case you missed it, its not because he is the marijuana business that I want to see him jailed. It is because he is a narc.
Fair enough, it's hard for me to seperate. He's charged with selling seeds. But are there really victims that he turned in? Are you 100% sure of this? Heard directly and know their names? Why wouldn't the DEA bring this up to help them bury his PR campaign in the press?
it's still out of line, and reported to the mods, just to make you aware.
am I supposed to be threatened by this?
Drugs are unhealthy. They do not benefit the user. Dulling the senses via drugs OR alcohol does not solve a problem, it only adds to it. Use also contributes to family and societal breakdown.
Children who grow up in drug condoned homes have less hope for successful future. They are lower achievers and often live neglectful or emotionally scarred lives. Suicide rates, drop out rates, teen pregnancy and other misfortunes among these children are markedly higher than those in non-drug environments.
So to claim that families who "blaze up together" are somehow well adjusted is plain falacy. Get the facts.
Yes, medical personnel are taught in school these things. We know what the rest of you refuse to admit to. Drugs are "bad" for you.
"When you're climbing to the top, you'd better know the way back down" MSB
Yet, medical professionals are the biggest drug pushers in the US? Do they ever discuss that? Are you on drugs? Coffee (Caffeine), cigs, aspirin, oxycontin, percs, vicodans, paxil, etc? Do those drugs break down families too? If I drink coffee every day is my family screwed? What about if I take oxycontin with a doctors prescription for the next five years? Is that ok?

I want to hear what a professional has to say!
Oh man! If that's true, my family is beyond all hope. You should see just what's on my bedside table, and my daughter is making me a cup of coffee right now. Oh, woe is us!

you simply refuse to see it don't you? ANY substance used in excess can be and usually is "bad." that doesn't make the person addicted a "bad" person, as according to your spiel
plenty of people use mj recreationally and lead sucessful lives as do their friends, families and children. it's no different than the person that uses alcohol or other substances recreationally. when you start talking about using something habitually, it then becomes a problem, this is true of any substance or action.
I sincerly hope that you don't show to your patients/clients even the slightest bit of the bitterness and vitrol that you display for them on this board. you should do your community a favor and destroy whatever license it is that you have to practice nursing or counseling or whatever it is that you're doing. because you must've entirely missed the "first do no harm" part.

I adore you, Laura
excuse me while I go swallow another boatload of pills. now everyone please pray for my friends and family
you and i will be dancing on a lawn somewhere......
SPEEDYPALOOZA needed you there this year......
SPEEDYPALOOZA would have killed me. Didn't sound like the ideal environment for a woman in a wheelchair.
I think I'm getting a little old for the festival thing anyway. I was reading the posts on the Porch and every post made me happier that I wasn't there. I'm really bothered by rude behavior.

no, certainly no intention to be threatening. just watching out for fellow posters who don't deserve to be talked to the way you did and do.
