A true activist, that is anyone who is willing to do anything for the cause, would risk a slightly longer jail time and incarceration in a US prison (I really doubt that they are that much different, he is going to max. security) in an attempt to at least beat the injustice, if not create a lot more awareness through media coverage.

I totally agree. He's been spewing the 'everyone needs to do their part' kind of activism & he's basically selling-out to save his own ass 1st...THEN the co-defendants, imho.
As you can probably tell, I'm not a big fan of his...although I do feel bad for anyone who gets imprisoned under a cannabis-related charge. I wouldn't even be too surprised if he started dropping dimes like a scaghead at a candy machine just to save his own ass even moreso.
He's out for 'Marc Emery' 1st & all other problems are 2nd...imho. Although he shouldn't be doing any time.
