Keegan Hamilton of the Riverfront Times posted an article about today’s Marc Emery Day protest at the courthouse downtown by Greater St. Louis NORML - check it out here: St. Louis NORML Chapter Holding “Prince of Pot” Protest Tomorrow
Today’s protest is going to be downtown at the Mel Carnahan Criminal Courthouse at 1114 Market Street (the corner of Market and Tucker) at 4:00 P.M.
Hamilton writes:
“Emery is just another example of an otherwise law abiding citizen being sent to prison for a non-violent marijuana offense,” says St. Louis NORML director Joseph Welch. “Except his case is more political. He’s being singled out for his role in the marijuana legalization movement.”
Emery was targeted by the United States government not because he was just selling seeds in his storefront shop and online, but because he was an active and aggressive reformer.
[Emery] is the editor of Cannabis Culture magazine and the founder of the BC-based Marijuana Party (guess what they’re in favor of). Former U.S. Attorney John McKay called him “the biggest purveyor of marijuana from Canada into the United States” and the DEA claimed that marijuana seeds he sold via the Internet for 11 years resulted 1.1 million pounds of pot (worth an estimated $11 billion) being grown in this country.

Today, Saturday, May 2, 2009 is Worldwide Cannabis Liberation day and our annual March to the Arch to Legalize Marijuana!
However, due to the flooding down at the Arch we have moved the event to the location of the after-party - the whole thing is now going to be at:
Heartbreaker’s on the Landing
700 N. 2nd Street
St. Louis, MO 63102
The event is now 18 and up (not 21 and up) but still runs from 1-7 and then the after party from 7 until whenever.
We’re still going to have all the bands and speakers and it will be a great time.
And don’t forget to see me to sign our petition to decriminalize marijuana in the City of St. Louis!

See you there!
