Last week DRCNet reported that prominent Canadian entrepreneur and marijuana reformer Marc Emery had been sentenced to 90 days in a Saskatchewan, jail for trafficking -- which in this case consisted of passing a joint at a protest to another attendee.

A petition calling the sentence a miscarriage of justice and calling for legalization and other reforms to Canadian marijuana law has been posted at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ccd443/ online. The author of the petition can be reached at [email protected].
