As a matter of principle, I don't think the government should have handed "Prince of Pot" Marc Emery over to the Americans, and I support legalized marijuana. But I doubt the influence Marc Emery wields is enough to get a dog catcher elected, and the kind of idle threat he's making suggests there's still a lot of THC in his system.
"The whole thing is nonsense. I should never have been turned over to the U.S. government," said Emery, a fervent Liberal supporter, already fired up for next year's general election.
As I remember it - and it's been years since I paid attention to the case - we were pretty much treaty-bound to hand him over.
