COMPASSION

I am pleased to see the National Post dedicate time and space to exposing
the hypocrisy of the war on cannabis. However, as the founder of The B.C.
Compassion Club Society, I must clarify that although Marc Emery has funded
many aspects of the anti-prohibition movement, he absolutely did not
"finance the undertaking [of the Compassion Club] through the sale of
marijuana seeds" or by any other means. The Compassion Club was started
with faith, sweat, tears, love, and a small amount of cannabis borrowed
from a compassionate grower, not with money from Marc Emery, or anyone else.
