Marc Emery's Prison Potcast - Episode #3

Dear Marc,
Thank you for sharing your book review. It is good to see that you are continuing to do your work even from the confines of prison. I pray for your continued wellness and forthcoming release.

I remember reading about Gandhi in his quest, using Satya-Graha - Truth Force - to give autonomy to the Indian people in South Africa, and then the entire Sub-continent, back when I left school in 1996 at 14. He was in prison, and while there he continued to write and do his work. Really it even made him more powerful.

Your plight is one of not lesser importance than Gandhi's. Following in his footsteps, your quest for freedom to live peacefully will be ultimately successful as was Gandhi's.

The grave injustices you spoke of in you book review here will come to light and we are triumphant over ignorance in the end. The elucidation I received from the review was shocking, and yet in its rational way very revealing of what needs to change. IN myself I noticed a disturbance, and then remembered to remain equanimous (strangely this computer does not recognize "equanimous" as a word
Main Entry: equanimous
equanimous can be found at Merriam-WebsterUnabridged.com.). For through equanimity we stay in a place of power, and from there we can make change. All must be forgiven in the end, though let's stop these grave injustices from happening, through Satya Graha, and so remain in the true force of righteousness, feeling love for this amazing life experience. As we forgive, so people can change.

I am reminded of emperor Ashoka who was a war-monger until he became a disciple of the Buddha, from which point he was hugely responsible for spreading peace. Let's turn the emperor around and get him loving self and the world.

I know you will stay mighty even if your quarters are reduced. Gather strength, know that you are loved, pray and meditate. We create our own reality through our thoughts and successive feelings. You are a beacon of strength and hope to so many.
Thank you. I love you.

Sincerely,
Namaste,
Love and Light,

Dylan Haddock

Marc has enough time to get some serious writing done. I like his potcast about the Vietnam connection with the drug war. Very well presented. Marc could become a journalist full time now.

I would very much like to see Marc use this opportunity for something positive. He might have some restrictions placed on him that he will not be used to, but like so many people before him, I hope he is able to turn this period into a time of focus and, hopefully, strengthen his influence.

I just had to comment that this was a fabulous review of this book, and I am going to have to give this one a read for sure!. Good stuff Marc keep it up!

Great potcast!

Marc brought up some interesting issues that deserve further investigation. I've listened to some of the Nixon tapes that were released a while back and the ones I heard made Nixon's extreme distaste for homosexuals, Jewish people, African Americans, and marijuana smokers very apparent.

Vietnam was the worst war in American history it was the war that ended the leave it to beaver era. It was responsible for the deaths of thousands for no reason. My father who fought said it destroyed more lives after war than it did during.

Marijuana doesn't kill except for those who get caught. Like Vietnam we are killing more people after than during. If someone chooses to smoke they are not killing anyone while high why would we do so after?

If any drug should be noted for destroying an effort in Vietnam people should look closer at heroin not marijuana.

Drug Warriors and Their Prey is a really good book, you can find it at http://amzn.com/0275950425
This isn't a spam ad, Emery mentioned it, and I recently read it and everyone else should too because it's a really good book.

I thought I might just point out that the shocking incidence of so many vets hooked on weed after the pointless Vietnam war actually may have a good side effect!?!

Evidence shows that the part of the brain involved in the fear response and over activated in people with PTSD (PostTraumaticStressDisorder), like Vietnam vets, is called the Amygdala. This is also where a high concentration of CB1 receptors are located and recent evidence (though severely limited) even showed that chronic cannabis users have a statistically smaller Amygdala.
Of course the sadly biased an unobjective researchers (who also fail to answer valid questions and criticisms) as well as the global media were quick to suggest that this was detrimental brain damage induced by THC.
In reality this is neural adaptation and the research showed NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of neurotoxicity.
Further, far from being a deleterious effect, this effect (if true, from the single human study available) could have substantial benefits in the form of fear and stress reduction, particularly in PTSD patients.
In fact numerous researchers are studying exactly that - drugs which act to reduce Amygdala activity to treat PTSD.

Shit they should be handing out FREE WEED to all the vets who are fucked up by PTSD thanks to a pointless war!

What's one of the alternatives, drowning the stress in booze!

What's better for society?
