Is anyone surprised by this story? They shouldn’t be. The leader of the British Columbian Marijuana Party was arrested for distributing marijuana seeds.

Marc Emery, the “Prince of Pot” who sold millions of marijuana seeds and helped form the British Columbia Marijuana Party, is being prosecuted in Seattle, Washington for selling seeds to Americans.  He recently gave up a fight against extradition, and is attempting to make a deal with his prosecutors in order to lighten his sentence.  If the deal goes through, he will face a maximum of about eight years in prison, if he is convicted.

Surely this wasn’t a surprised to Mr. Emery. I’m not saying it’s right–but the United States sends special forces all the way to Afghanistan and Columbia to prosecute drug dealers, you don’t think they’d take a hop over the northern border?
