Vancouver’s own top herbal activist, Marc Emery, will appear on the CBS news program 60 Minutes this Sunday, March 5th at 7 p.m. Emery will discuss charges leveled against him by the U.S. Government for selling marijuana seeds to Americans and his possible extradition to face those charges. Tune in to see John McKay, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, throw a hissy fit about how Emery and his activities are “kind of the leading edge of that marijuana problem”. In the article on the 60 Minutes site former Vancouver Mayor, and now Senator, Larry Campbell comes to Emery’s defense saying “If they consider that, then they have bigger problems than I can even imagine.”
