Ron Paul ad on front cover of Cannabis Culture magazine

Yes! We got every kind of person plus the Prince of Pot!

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.

Thank you very much for all of this. I don't personally use drugs, but drug legalization is a very important issue to me. If I had to pretend like Paul was not pro-legalization or that his supporters weren't, it would feel like a dirty compromise. I actually can't believe this is even being discussed here. Keep up what you're doing, and I can guarantee that most people are behind you on this

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.

I knew he was a fucking gossip. I despise people trying to ensnare me in a web of their poor perceptions. Ground was held and you verified my intuition to be correct.

Thanks for your contributions Marc and Jodie.. I am firing up a bowl in honor of you both.

Best Regards

is there a way of ordering this magazine from somewhere? i don't know of any place around me that sells it, but i would love to get ahold of a copy.

I'm with you on this one, for every pot head voter we get if they don't forget to go to the polls, how many gray haired old republicans will we loose when they here is is on the cover of a stoner magazine.

We are trying to get the Republican nomination here... I support your right to get high, but you have to look at the big picture.

Fer chrissakes, here we go again.

This whole thing is going to swing on getting new, dropped out or switched primary voters along with a portion of the freedom loving paleocon base who, like myself, don't care that he is on the cover of CC or High Times.

If you are thinking those gray hairs, (and hey, no offense, I'm 43 and have more than a few myself) if by that you mean the hidebound republican establishment, were ever going to vote for Paul, they you are the ones smoking dope.

They are too scared of Hillary and wild eyed "HayRabs" to ever support our guy anyways.

So it's going to hinge on the "unconventional voters" - the ones you and few others are doing everything you can to run off and piss off.

Marc & Jodie Emery, I love both of you and I wish you all the best. Thank you both for your efforts. Tell Barry I said hi!

www.CannabisCulture.com is where you can pre-order a copy of CC #69!

 

[RPFTW!]

I remember you guys from way back in the overgrow.com days when I used to smoke, good luck to you both

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.

You know, it's funny you should say that...

I took Jodie up on her very kind offer of autographed photos/posters for those who contribute to the Ron Paul campaign. She sent two of the "Liberty turns me on" pics, one for me and one for my cousin, who leans waaaay left and has been kind of on the fence about Ron.

I gave him his on Christmas Eve when my whole family was at my parents' house. Everyone was there, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, great-uncles... Of course, I had to explain who she was, and I mentioned that Ron was going to be on the cover of the next issue of Cannabis Culture.

A conversation about marijuana legalization ensued, and you know what? Not a single person there thought marijuana should be illegal. My 78 year old grandmother said, "They ought to just legalize it and get it over with."

As a matter of fact, I don't think I know anyone who seriously thinks pot should be illegal, unless they work for the government and make their living off of persecuting people for having it.

Do you send Editors to AMS? When are they going next?
