Denver, CO – Join Mile High NORML in its Worldwide Rally to Free Marc Emery! The Rally will be held at the Denver Federal Courthouse at 1823 Stout Street Saturday, May 22^nd from 2-5pm. Support the cause and have your voice heard! Anger and indignation should be channeled against the governments that allow the drug war to exist everywhere on Earth, and towards the politicians that makes these injustices and cruelties happen!

Marc Emery is a Canadian political prisoner about to be extradited to the United States for selling cannabis seeds on the Internet and using the money to fund marijuana legalization groups. The DEA wanted him, and now they’ve got him ordered and extradited thanks to Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada. Marc is just one of the hundreds of thousands of North Americans imprisoned for marijuana. Now is the time to STAND UP and demand an end to the destructive DRUG WAR and the imprisonment of non-violent cannabis growers and consumers!

Protest banners, signs, etc. are permitted and encouraged at this event. Sign suggestions include “Free Marc Emery,” “Google Marc Emery,” “Canada Must Bring Marc Emery Home,” “End Prohibition,” “No More Drug War,” etc. The purpose of the signs is to stir the mind of any passerby who might Google “Marc Emery,” “Prince of Pot,” or “Drug War.”

In the words of Marc Emery, “One person can undo the evil of several thousand people. You should never underestimate your power.” Expand awareness, be heard! Join Mile High NORML and the Cannabis Therapy Institute in their support of Marc Emery on Saturday, May 22^nd, at the Denver Federal Courthouse from 2-5pm.

Recap: Marc Emery Rally @ Skyline Park

Thousands across this country and all over the world protested the incarceration of Marc Emery on Saturday the 19th and the turn out in Denver was fantastic! Thanks to all who came and voiced there opinion.

At 4:20 the place was packed and the speaker at the time Attorney Rob Corry took a moment to recognize the time, The crowed cheered and a hush fell over the place and the air was quickly filled with a Grey haze. The police were absent and there were no altercations as people smoked freely on the busy outside mall, all except for one lonely motorcycle cop that sat in the back at the mouth of the outside mall, he didn't bother anybody but watched closely and scribbled a few notes. So be it.

Again thanks to everyone who came out and we will see you at the end of the month on the west steps of the capital! The link to some great pics are coming soon!
