Canadian marijuana seed distributor arrested by order of the US government

Marc Emery, the head of a Canadian marijuana seed distributorship that is reputed to be the largest such enterprise in the world, was arrested earlier today in Halifax, apparently due to a "request" from the US DEA. Emery, also an avid anti-drug-war activist and the editor/publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, is apparently slated for extradition to the US, according to this blog and other sources.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
