The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP) is outraged at the extradition
to the USA, of Marc Emery, the 'Prince of Pot'. The ALCP is Calling on John
Key to put diplomatic pressure on his good friend Steven Harper, the
Canadian Prime Minister to reverse the decision.

Marc Emery's arrest is politically motivated and is an attack on a
legitimate law reform movement. Emery has financed cannabis law reform
movements worldwide including the ALCP. He is being extradited to the US
for 'crimes' that would not be prosecuted in Canada.

This sets a dangerous precedent, as the US can seemingly now apply their
laws to foreign nationals. This is despite the fact that Marc Emery has
paid Millions of Dollars worth of tax in Canada while operating his
cannabis seed distribution company.
