What Does Marc Emery Mean?
Marc Emery is often called the 'Prince of Pot'. He is an avid cannabis rights activist. In 1994, he opened a store in Vancouver, B.C. called 'Hemp BC'. In the store, he sold a wide array of paraphernalia that was not widely available in Canada at that time. He also started selling seeds. Unfortunately, his outspoken stance on marijuana and his store's shady practices landed him legal trouble several times. By 1997, he had substantially expanded his store but was still facing mounting legal pressure.

He would face many legal battles both in the United States and Canada. Finally, in 2017, the courts issued a ban that stated he could never possess or sell cannabis products again. He was placed on two years probation.
