EMERY WARNS CUSTOMERS

"You may be in danger." That's the message from Emery Seeds, the
now-defunct marijuana seed distribution owned by pot activist MARC EMERY,
who now faces extradition to the U.S. after being arrested at the request
of the American Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in July.

EMERY's physical seed shop was raided and shut down. Now, staff at Emery
Seeds say anyone who's ever bought from the online retailer had better
beware: the DEA might be looking for them. "We feel very strongly that this
is Law Enforcement trying to sweep up a lot of our customers, many whom are
growers," said JODIE GIESZ of emeryseeds.com.

According to GIESZ, approximately 200 to 300 seed orders sent out in June
were likely intercepted by the DEA. She said she believes the DEA is now
trying to "trick" those buyers into admitting they requested the contraband
seeds by sending them a "fake" letter, which purports to be from the
distribution company and asks recipients to confirm their order.

GIESZ said responding to this letter and confirming any order would be
tantamount to an admission of guilt, but reassured customers Emery Seeds
had protected its clients and nothing the DEA seized from the company's
headquarters -- records of outgoing orders, for example -- implied clients
listed were actually requesting the contraband seeds.

"(The DEA) can't prove that pieces of mail are seed orders," she said.
"What they can do is send their own mail to all of those addresses, with a
letter included posing as Marc Emery Direct."

By press time, neither the Vancouver Police Department nor the DEA had
returned calls for comment.

EMERY isn't giving up. On Sunday, he posted the following message of
defiance on his Cannabis Culture website: "If Canada becomes prohibition
free, then American prohibition will fall. But if the United States
government is allowed to triumph with intimidation, blackmail and increased
arrests in Canada, stifling our progress, sending Canada backwards, then
liberation for all North America is that much more elusive. Please help us,
MARC EMERY."
