This tweet of hers below reflects a common sentiment in the cannabis industry this week. Sony just dropped R. Kelly and it the Canadian weed industry is finally dropping Marc Emery. Fuck YES. I have to make a public statement about assertions being made on twitter and possibly in the larger public sphere about my reputation and actions I am alleged to have done in my time as owner and operator of Cannabis Culture, particularly in the years In , the ownership and operation went to Jodie Emery exclusively.
Jodie Emery is the greatest woman I know, of dignity, kindness , with not a mean bone in her body. I am lucky to have been married to her since , she has been a stalwart and balanced influence on my life. I was glad to go to openings of CC franchises and people loved our shops. These businesses are vitally important to Jodie and she has put her life into the movement, the cause, her people, many employees at these great places.
So when I see Jodie hurting so bad for accusations made against me, that I will discuss, I feel very, very low inside. I am so sorry. That these things get publicly discussed and that Jodie has to see this and experience an attack on her business and her character, it is very hurtful.
Lots of people. I do say outrageous things but it is my sincere belief that I have never harmed anyone , or sexually aggressed anyone, in my life. I do write provocative things. I do talk about sex and in the old days 15 years ago I used to write about sex, but I have never ever had sex with anyone under I did have year old friends in and when I returned from prison that I smoked pot with. Just very vocal. Sometimes inadvisedly so, as I said.
Jodie has worried daily for nine years running that shop. That she told me to go in Feb , , and Jodie cares deeply for me, shows you how much I was offending her with my exhibitionism. I am a touchy guy probably. But I would like to think that it was modest non sexual touching always.
Since it was always in public and not hidden away, I am touchy guy in the public sphere where everyone can see. It was only adult women or men I would be giving back rubs too. But this was one thing that also bothered Jodie, even if I was well meaning, it would be misunderstood or taken wrongly by any observers. The staff Jodie has hired voiced concerns to her and she dismissed me and banished me ultimately.
I was not in the vapour lounge from September to , I was in jails and prisons and was not at Cannabis Culture. The next issue of Vancouver Sun Headline News will soon be in your inbox.
