jaraxle writes "Canadian Marijuana Party leader Marc Emery is facing jail time for selling marijuana seeds to Americans. Charged with conspiracy to grow marijuana and allegations of money laundering, Emery has made a deal with U.S. prosecutors to serve a minimum 5 years in jail to keep his two friends who were also involved out of prison. Sadly, if Emery and his "co-conspirators" were extradited to the U.S. and found guilty, they could each face up to 10 years in prison, which Emery believes could be the end of his life. Strangely enough, Emery seems to have fully played by the Canadian governments rules by paying taxes on his income, and ensuring that the Canadian Post Office knew what he was delivering across the border."
