Ron Paul ad on front cover of Cannabis Culture magazine

[CanadiansLoveRonPaul]

Like I said.. Say and do are two different things and it does not matter how much caterwauling and fingerpointing you do. Say and do are two different things. A threat falls into the say category in this case. So.. was it you that phoned him up acting like a pompous jerk and making threats..or..??

Randy

No it was not me.

Don't be threatened by the revelation that Marc Emery is a scumbag, not everyone is privy to all the information available on a notable person on first glance. It might take a while, but the more you read and understand about Marc the more you will understand that he is a detriment to the marijuana movement and puts the honest people working within the movement at risk.

Is that fucking right aye.. I am Canadian and frankly your backbiting attitude is not very Canadian--like of ya. Ya seem to be trying to convince me of some gossip and your post count is like 18.. You have zero credibility. Another whiner with an agenda that ain't RP's

Why is this good for us?

I wish we would take a big picture view of things.

i don't believe there are any lsd specific mags/communities out there
anymore, hippie.

I just heard Marc Emery announce on the Steve Kubby Show that there will be a 2 1/2" X 4 1/2" ad on the FRONT COVER of the January issue of Cannabis Culture that reads: "he will end the War On Drugs, allow medical marijuana, legalize industrial hemp, end the DEA" etc.

It will also include a pull-out poster inside the issue (11X17) that says "Ron Paul, Champion of the Constitution 2008".

SWEEET! CC is a MUCH better magazine than High Times (though I'm happy we're advertising in High Times too).

Aren't all the pot-heads already for Dr. Paul? I made a few friends on digg and I get nothing but Dr. Paul on pot this and Dr. Paul on pot that. Too much excitement for me.

The gossip came right from the horses mouth. I am just telling like it is, and if your disappointed to learn the truth about Marc threatening people by turning their private information over to authorities, then I feel sorry for you.

Don't judge me, your attempt to position yourself in a place of power over me has failed and you can give up on it now. Ron Paul would never associate himself with this loser, so in my opinion it would be better if Emery just didn't say anything about Ron Paul at all.

No. Many of them don't even know about him, or are afraid of him because he is Republican.

 

[Marc Scott Emery]

Marc Emery once threatened to turn over PERSONAL INFORMATION of his customers to the authorities because they were complaining about the quality of his goods.

"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"

In illegal businesses you have to deal with thugs, threats, and an inability to use the courts to settle disputes. I have never hesitated to point out I would call the police about any threats to my wife, my partners or my property. In fact, I have never had a single client whose security or projects were compromised by any slip of information. Even though I have been arrested 22 times for pot, jailed 17 times for pot, raided 6 times for pot, not a single person in 12 years was ever compromised by any slip of information. That's amazing and incredible, the most notorious seed seller on earth and not one person taken down other than myself. That's integrity, folks. And a good habit of destroying all paperwork immediately!

The next cover of Cannabis Culture is incredibly HOT! My wife is nearly naked on the front saying " Vote For Ron Paul...Liberty Turns Me on! - Jodie Emery, Editor " .

We're going to post it here shortly for everyone to see!!! Its in stores and on newstands from January 20 to March 15. The poster inside is 11" x 17"

Ron Paul - Champion of the Constitution - President 2008

 

[JodieEmery]

The gossip

Is exactly that.

Ron Paul would never associate himself with this loser, so in my opinion it would be better if Emery just didn't say anything about Ron Paul at all.

Ron Paul is very close friends with Lew Rockwell, who is also friends with Marc Emery. Marc Emery has been a Libertarian for decades and knows Lew Rockwell. Marc has been one of Canada's only leading Libertarian advocates ever since he was a fan of Ron Paul in the 1980s. Read these Lew Rockwell website articles about Marc: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/cust3.html and http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig5/cust2.html



I'm going to share again the things that our magazine has done (just some of it!) for Ron Paul's campaign...


Our magazine, Cannabis Culture, prints approximately 66,000 copies with a mostly-American audience. Our website is also frequented by US citizens -- www.CannabisCulture.com -- as are our MySpace and Facebook accounts, with thousands of fans and friends.

Cannabis Culture Magazine has been promoting Ron Paul since 2006 when the publisher and editor Marc Emery (my husband) analyzed every voting record of all US Representatives for issue #62's "Voter's Guide" and RON PAUL came out on top. Marc Emery has been a fan and follower of Ron Paul since the 1980s, and since 2006 we've featured Ron Paul promotions regularly.



The next issue of our magazine, #69 (out in mid-January) has me on the cover looking quite lovely (I'm already the "Ron Paul - Liberty Turns Me On" girl you may have seen online, the brunette in the white bikini) with a 2x5-inch RON PAUL promotion in the bottom left corner of the cover including Ron Paul's face, name, website, and 6 reasons for our audience to vote for Ron Paul.

We also have a centerfold in the same issue saying "RON PAUL - President 2008 - Champion of the Constitution" with 3 web addresses: RonPaul2008.com, DailyPaul.com, and RonPaulRadio.com. The poster can be used anywhere, and doesn't have pot leafs on it. Great for everyone to use.



In issue #62 we had the voter guide. Ron Paul got heavy promotion for being the best Representative for freedom, liberty, peace, and ending the War on Drugs (which was a prelude to the War on Terror). That in-depth analysis, which Marc spent months creating, is available at our website: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/4806.html

Issue #65 was out all-activist issue and featured the article "For the Presidency of the United States", which offered insight into Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich (to have both a Republican and Democrat endorsed). You can find that article on our website too: http://cannabisculture.com/articles/4910.html

Issue #67's Letter From the Editor (by Marc) endorsed Ron Paul heavily, and the photo was Marc in his popular Ron Paul Revolution shirt holding his "Prince of Pot" bong. That issue's cover also had www.RonPaul2008.com as the little "quote" next to the bar code, which we always switch up.

Issue #68, our currently-on-stands issue, has an article called "Your Next President On Drugs" and looks at every candidate's stance on the drug war, medical marijuana, hemp, etc. -- and of course, Ron Paul is the star of the show. That article can be seen at our website too, along with collected YouTube videos of every candidate commenting on drugs/marijuana. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5101.html




Hundreds of people have registered Republican, joined Ron Paul's campaign, donated money to him, turn into Ron Paulites like us, and done even more because of our efforts. They write to Marc and I daily, letting us know that they found out about Ron Paul through us, online or in CC magazine, or at www.Pot.tv or in person, or at our very popular store (Marc Emery's Cannabis Culture Headquarters) in downtown Vancouver... or even through our Vancouver Meet-Up group!



Marc and I also have a radio show on RonPaulRadio.com and currently we have an offer circulating for people who donate to Ron Paul -- they can get free personalized autographed centerfolds and posters of me and/or Marc (1: my famous CC centerfold, or 2: my "Liberty Turns Me On" Ron Paul promotion; or 3: Marc's Revolution-shirt picture) ... just email [email protected] with the confirmation email, your name and mailing address.



Oh, and for other Ron Paul & Marc Emery info... read the Seattle Weekly News article from a while ago... it's promotion, one way or another. It must be helping, because a lot of Republicans have been joining to support Ron Paul in Washington state, according to a recent story from there. http://cannabisculture.com/articles/5045.html

Also.... just one last little note... The recent Ron Paul article in Rolling Stone magazine was written by Tim Dickenson, who wroite about Marc Emery years ago. Marc contacted Dickenson after a previous article had said "all GOP candidates are for the Iraq war", encouraging Dickenson to take a closer look at Ron Paul. Dickenson later produced that excellent article; and though I imagine many others let him know that Ron Paul exists, Marc has a personal relationship with that journalist -- as Marc has been a media magnet since he was 17 -- and it seems to have had some good impact.

Don't be threatened by the revelation that Marc Emery is a scumbag, not everyone is privy to all the information available on a notable person on first glance. It might take a while, but the more you read and understand about Marc the more you will understand that he is a detriment to the marijuana movement and puts the honest people working within the movement at risk.

If anyone reads anything unsavory in any reputable mdia, let me know. The Wall Street Journal, when they put me on their cover on Dec. 5, 1995, had 6 editors check my background, including my teachers, neighbors, parents, all previous business partners because " The Wall Street Journal is not putting a drug dealer on its front page."

60 Minutes researched me thoroughly in 8 months of investigating, they couldn't find an elected official, cop or citizen who'd go on camera and say anything negative about me.

The New York Times reporter, when they did a full page story in the Sunday Times on me, could not find any negative feedback at all. Ditto the Washington Post, Australian Broadcasting Corp. (those were 2005 and 2006)

CBC National Television did a movie of me, released in October (and available to view at youtube.com/princeofpot) that took one year to make, and the only critic was my hometown weekly paper editor who said I had a prodigious ego and was always pushing Ayn Rand on my bookstore customers.

I've been vetted by the best A-list media, and if there was any taint on my rep, they would have found it. I was a Scouting parent for 4 years, a children's soccor coach for 10 years, I'm still friends with every girl I've dated or lived with, I've run for elected office 10 times since 1980 (when I first read about Congressman Ron Paul). Many children I have coached, taught, tutored or mentored are friends of mine on Facebook today.

My point being, if I was a bad person in ANY way, you could google it and find it. If anyone had dirt on me, they'd call the media. After all, it is my reputation thats on trial!

But as the Wall Street Journal writer Quentin Hardy wrote, " Marc, all 6 editors said you're totally clean, congratulations, you are on the front page December 5."

And it was a great story, " Pot Seed Merchant, Winked at by Police, Prospers in Canada." It netted me my first big raid 4 weeks later.

If CanadiansforRonPaul is upfront, why doesn't he use his real name and then I can google him and investigate his reputation? That would be revealing, no doubt.

There's no Canadian who has done more for Ron Paul than myself and my wife, Jodie, in this campaign. I even put out myself tonight over 100 lawn signs, bridge sprawling banners, and pole signs in the pouring rain tonight all over Vancouver tonight with 8 members of the Vancouver meet-up group.

Contributions so far:
4,000 3x5" cards color
2,000 buttons
12 massive 3' x 8' banners color
a giant portable Ron Paul Pavilion
South Carolina Marathon of Hope (September)
two editorials
4 videos
one magazine cover
one magazine centerfold (value: $3450 US)
autographed posters of Jodie/me for over 100 Ron Paul donors
Ron Paul Radio shows

I'm the most recognized cannabis activist in the world, and for good reason. I have earned the recognition.

How can bringing the drug war front and center be a bad thing?

 

[1town]

I forget who said this, it was a science fiction writer, who said "to get everybody in the country libertarian all you had to do is convince the dope people that the gun people were OK and the gun people that the dope people were OK and everyone was libertarian."

The war on drugs is a disaster, and it's about damn time someone admitted it.

 

[JodieEmery]

Is that a good or bad "eek"?

It's still better than the schwack I'm getting.

 

[basejumper]

Marc and Jodie!!

Thanks for all that you have done... both for Ron Paul and Marijuana!

I was just thinking about you guys and posted in another thread about running Ron Paul ads in CC but I guess you guys are already on top of that so how about more pictures of Jodie

I like to consider myself BOTH!

(disclaimer: due to the questioning on the 4473, I don't actually use marijuana)

 

[noztnac]

How can bringing the drug war front and center be a bad thing?

I personally favor legalizing all drugs. But the issue is definitely not a good one for most conservative voters. It alienates most older conservatives and those are the ones who vote. I'm sure all of your friends agree with you but why don't you ask your grandparents over Christmas dinner what they think about legalizing marijuana.

Word up.

I just blazed a nice bowl for the Constitution.
