This is your government on drugs
Everyone in politics is on drugs. No one is on the truth. So argues Marc "Prince of Pot" Emery in his latest piece.
Marc Emery - September 18, 2008
Dana Larsen, former editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine, author of Hairy Pothead and Marijuana Stone, was sacked today as NDP candidate in West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast - Sea to Sky Country because of his association with the Vancouver Seed Bank (VSB), more specifically, a coca plant in the front window. The VSB isn't even Dana's store, although he founded it two years ago. This came about when the Globe & Mail called NDP campaign manager Gerry Scott and asked what he thought of Dana Larsen's association with coca plants and seeds at the VSB.
After Dana agreed to resign, the CBC aired quite the sensational piece on the BC CBC TV news reviewing Dana's POT.TV shows where he took LSD and DMT. They are from 2001 and were done on assignment by me. The CBC clip includes Dana smoking pot and driving to demonstrate that pot does not adversely affect driving which is what all university authored studies also find.
These were all done as assignments for POT.TV and Cannabis Culture.
I suspect almost every NDP and Liberal and Green candidate on the ballots across Canada have taken illegal drugs or binge drank alcohol in college... or later. Stephen Harper's own famous quote on whether he had ever smoked marijuana was this remark: "I was offered a joint once, but I didn't smoke it because I was too drunk." Quote and end quote.
Dana Larsen actually had a good reason for doing it, he was filming it to have the experience documented for all future researchers. The shows about LSD and DMT are quite compelling.

These were done in 2001 for POT.TV.
That was at noon today. By 4 p.m. Pacific time, all NDP candidates were instructed not to affiliate with me, at the request of NDP Ottawa war room campaign manager Gerry Scott. In the previous five hours I had been gathering signatures on the street for Kirk Tousaw's nomination and it went very well. I got more signatures in five hours than the NDP nominating meeting was able to get out of all the Vancouver-Quadra members who showed up for the nomination meeting.
