	British Columbia Marijuana Party Polls 3.5% in Provincial Elections, May Morph Into Multi-Issue "Freedom Party"
		The British Columbia Marijuana Party (BCMP), the insurgent provincial electoral force greased with $150,000US of cannabis entrepreneur Marc Emery's profits and represented by a colorful cast of campaigners (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/180.html#bcparty), fell short of pre-election predictions, but managed to garner some 52,000 votes and score five third-place finishes in the province's 79 legislative assembly districts.
		Party leader Brian Taylor, who got 785 votes in the West Kootenay Boundary district, was upstaged by his 25-year-old daughter Teresa, who captured the party's highest popular vote total with 1,136 and polled 5.6% in the conservative Okanagan-Westside district.
		With this campaign, the party began a metamorphosis from a single-issue "legalize marijuana" party to a generally small-L libertarian party advocating an ideology of personal freedom and limited government.

	Prince of Pot blows cold on 'superficial' bill - theage.com.au
		In the smoky confines of the British Columbia Marijuana Party Bookstore, the "Prince of Pot" was not impressed by Canada's plan to decriminalise small amounts of the drug.
		Marijuana is estimated by police and advocates of its legalisation to be a $C4 billion ($A4.4 billion) to $C6 billion industry in British Columbia, with much of the potent "BC Bud" destined for the US.
		Mr Emery believes tougher laws against marijuana cultivation will not reduce the number of growing operations in the area, adding that the cost of avoiding getting caught will be passed along to the consumer.

		But Marijuana Party candidate Dan Loehndorf, also known as the Reverend Damuzi, who is running in the Nelson-Creston district in the interior, says the party is better organized as a result of the previous campaign.
		The party is fielding a diverse crop of candidates, from a 58 year-old suburban grandmother to figures such as Loehndorf/ Damuzi, widely recognized for their cannabis culture antics.
		In a revealing indication of how different the politics of marijuana is in British Columbia, Damuzi mentioned that he had to "overcome the fear of change" among some elements of the electorate.

	Marijuana Party makes BC history
		It was the day after the federal election, and he had run with the Canadian Marijuana Party, which hadn't won a single seat (CC#29 Marijuana Party fights national campaign).
		Ironically, given the party's policy that marijuana be legalized and fairly taxed, Briere was also burned for an alleged $1.3 million worth of tax evasion on pot crop profit.
		Most importantly, the BC Marijuana Party were also excluded from the party leaders' debate on BCTV, a debate which included the Liberals, the NDP, the Greens and the Unity Party.

		The people supporting therapeutic marijuana are very unsatisfied and unhappy about the conservative government's decision to abolish the research program on the usage of this drug for medical purposes.
		Colleagues and others who wonder whether their use of marijuana is medical, or whether they should try some preparation of marijuana for their health condition, should feel free to apply to me for guidance and further information.
		Marijuana's main active ingredients, cannabinoids, appear to restrict blood supply to brain tumors, a finding that supports their use to fight brain cancer and could lead to new cannabinoid-based cancer treatments.

	GANJABUS Medical Marijuana Growing Network: Marijuana Seeds Vancouver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Vancouver Police spokesperson Howard Chow admitted that Emery’s selling of marijuana seeds “is not enough” for him to have been arrested by Canadian authorities acting on their own, and confirmed that the arrests came solely because the DEA had provided motivation and information that led to the raids.
		Although Emery is the highest profile marijuana activist in the world, who publicly airs reality television shows portraying all aspects of marijuana culture and who hosts marijuana connoisseur events like the Toker's Bowl, he is by far not the only person selling marijuana seeds across international boundaries from downtown Vancouver.
		The use of MLAT to attack a non-violent symbol of marijuana activism seems like unprecedented overkill to Vansterdam denizens, and is a sign that the drug war has created an unprecedented, troubling alliance between US and Canadian police, prosecutors and politicians.

	Block the Extradition of a Hero for Liberty by Michael Cust and Peter Jaworski
		On Friday July 29th, 2005, British Columbia Marijuana Party President Marc Emery was arrested while vacationing in Nova Scotia by Halifax police, and his business in Vancouver was raided by Vancouver police, both at the request of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
		Yet, because of the disconnect between public policy values and social values, those involved in the marijuana culture have their properties seized, and are regularly thrown in prison.
		And, in spite of the hostility towards marijuana shown by the official organs of the police, for instance the Canadian Police Association, many on-the-street police officers share in the chuckle, rightfully acknowledging marijuana use as a benign form of recreation.

		We have some growing support from the native community, who see the systematic discrimination that is taking place against the marijuana culture as having some of the same elements as the discrimination natives have faced for the past 150 years in BC.
		As far as the nature of the clientele it would be inconsistent for the party to support any other approach than an all inclusive accommodation of any fetish or sexual choice you may have.

	Libertarian Party News Release: Block the Extradition of Marc Emery
		On July 29, the RCMP arrested Marc Emery, Leader of the British Columbia Marijuana Party along with fellow activists Michelle Rainey-Fenkarek and Gregory Williams.
		U.S. officials have falsely characterized Marc Emery as motivated by greed, but the truth is that, in addition to serving those who are in desperate need of medical marijuana, the proceeds of his seed business have been directed towards political activism and compassionate aid for drug addicts.
		That is why we call on Parliament and the people of Canada to not only decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana but to also work towards the abolition of the disastrous policy of drug prohibition, which results in increased criminal activity and the unjust imprisonment of peaceful citizens.
