Originally released on Pot-TV on August 12th, 2002 and again on March 6th, 2006. Here it is, in high quality with all bits intact, the 1993 Doty Docs documentary, written and produced by the late Christopher Doty: "Marc Emery: Messing Up The System".

From the back of the cover:

"In July 1992 Marc Emery, tireless London-born political crusader, left the town he called home for 34 years to begin a new life in India. The was no one present to see him off... except a documentary crew.

The result was Marc Emery: Messing Up The System, a dizzying chronical of Emery's three-decade battle with police, feminists, censors, drug enforcement officers and Canada at large. Viewers game enough to watch the program learned what turned a cocky 17-yr-old bookseller into this country's self-styled "Prince of Pot".

Description from 2002:

This 1992 documentary, Marc Emery: Messing Up the System, tells the pre-Hemp BC story of the man behind the myth. (Unfortunately the first five minutes or so were missing from this archival copy).

Description from 2006:

"A dizzying chronicle of Marc's first 3 decades battling with police, feminists, censors, drug enforcement and Canada at large."

Anyone notice that at 4:13, Marc's name is spelled with a "K" not a "C" ??? Has anyone ever caught this? I bet there's a good story behind that.

Thanks for posting these... it's great to know the roots of Marc Emery.

If I saw Marc during his early years, like shown in this film, I would be more affraid he would molest me with those big windows glasses than sell me weed.
