MARIJUANA CRUSADER SORRY FOR CALLING COTLER A NAZI
VANCOUVER - Marijuana crusader Marc Emery apologized Wednesday for referring
to federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler as a Nazi.
Emery, the 47-year-old "Prince of Pot" who faces potential extradition to
the United States for selling marijuana seeds, has compared the persecution
of people involved in marijuana culture to that experienced by Jews under
the Nazi regime.
In a "jail blog" he wrote from a Saskatoon jail last summer he called Cotler
a "Nazi-Jew." In an interview last week, he reiterated he thought Cotler was
acting like a Nazi.
