Would Marijuana criminal defendants Marc Emery ( http://pot.tv/ ) who is threatened with extradition to the U.S.A. by the Canadian Crown Court
( http://www.courts.gov/bc/ca
and enter the search term "Marc Scott Emery" )
for selling marijuana seeds by the seashore in Vancouver, Canada over the internet to America,
and Steve Kubby, a medical marijuana patient with cancer being threatened with deportation to face charges in the U.S.A.,
prefer the new drug law passed in Switzerland on January 20, 2006
regarding the decriminalization of marijuana?
Unfortunately the Government of Switzerland conducts their business in French, German and Italian so you might want to find a translator to understand the new drug law passed in Switzerland on January, 20, 2006.
