This is to protest the extradition of Marc Emery on drug charges. He sold cannabis seeds online, and Canadian authorities have basically treated it as soon-to-be-made-legal activism, and have done nothing. The U.S., however, wants him extradited. The maximum penalty in Canada would be about two years, if anyone bothered to prosecute. The maximum penalty in the U.S. is life with no parole for ten years.

Not very, if you're talking about cocaine or something equally deserving of strict control because even one use can be very dangerous. But extremely so, if you're talking about weed. No one is less inclined to violence than a regular weed smoker. It's crazy.
