Jodie Emery Isn’t Stopping!

Google “Marc Emery” and you’ll see the marijuana legalization conflict unfold in living color before your eyes. Mr. Emery has for years sold marijuana seeds from Canada into the U.S. and recently started a federal prison sentence of FIVE years. He has made millions in his business ventures and funneled millions back into his marijuana legalization efforts.

Often overlooked in this story is his wife Jodie. She’s been right there working for our civil rights in Canada and the U.S. She’s gotten so sick of it (I’m assuming) that she’s running for office in Canada. If you’re there, please support her. If you’re not there, please support her. Her husband is in prison for doing things that led directly to me being able to use pot legally in California during my chemo. I may post more later about how to help Marc in prison — there are ways — but you can also find that. Google is wonderful!

For now, please read this article that was tweeted to me today.

I believe the article was written by Tracey Cox (@successfulrebel). Ms. Cox interviewed Jodie Emery recently while researching for her upcoming book, The Successful Female Rebel.
