My buddy and I used to hang out with Emery sometimes and smoke in his back room at the "Hemp BC" shop. We weren't close buddies or anything and there were often just random groups of people there smoking. I will say this: As nice a guy as Marc was, never ONCE EVER did I get any decent beans from him. They always turned out to be crap. Bad germination, hermies, larf, you name it...
It was still good times though.
There was a little seed shop on Vancouver Island, a ferry ride from Vancouver, called "The Sacred Herb". Now that place had good beans. Super cheap too.

That why I went with Heaven's Stairway...emerys site was kinda of sketch and shoddy to say the least. Heaven's Stairway had legit breeders and everything....this site was years ahead of its time. Remeber this was early 2000s they got shutdown in 06. From what I recall reading heaven's stairway got busted in Canada by royal mounted police....I'm sure there was alot of growrooms torn down and growers not sleeping good at night after that bust. Alot of people probably stopped growing out of sheer paranoia of being on the seed mailing list. We have it pretty good now we tend to forget how truly fucked we could get growing weed. Was no joke you could get a stretch and lose your house etc if busted.

You could buy other breeders packs from Emery as well.
I bought Mr Nice, Dutch Passion, and Nirvana seeds from him.
He also sold BC cultivars that would finish outdoors in September.
Shishkaberry, Mighty Mite to name a couple.
These grew great in the almost identical conditions of Western Washington.

Ya it was so long ago.17+ year ago(holy shit!)...I just remember Heaven's Stairway being really cool site- it had a clean look and was well organized and emerys site having ads and had just to much going on. I remember Heaven's Stairway had a very solid breeder and strain list available at the time, 1st online bank recall carrying brothers grimm

They all played their parts.
Shit was real serious back then.
I was an avid reader of Emery's Cannabis Culture magazine right before the internet really took off.
High Times had started to suck by then and there wasn't much else to help stay current.

Someone posted in the thread I made about heavens stairway weeks back saying- if wasn't for those 2 websites the modern cannabis gene pool would not be where it is today and I agree with his statement.

Do you guys remember Emery on some MTV show, kind of like HBO's America Undercover? He was showing the host a grow house operation that had huge plants growing in every room of the house.
I can't remember the shows name or the "reporter" but it was pretty bold of him. He got busted not too long after that.

That's awesome!
Guys like him were such a thorn in the side to our collective government's.
When I lived in Seattle, in the early to mid 90's, the owner of Hydro Tech hydro store, had a public access television show, where he would have a live marijuana plants and demonstrate propagation techniques, etc.
He was also a known snitch that worked a deal with the police, after being busted, to turn over the names and addresses of customers who spent over $1000.

That's foul! Fast forward to current times and I definitely wouldn't goto my local hydro anymore. You have to make an appointment & wear a mask or be refused. No thanks especially with the appointment thing, now they have a list of who & when smh.That's awesome!

That sucks!
Ours, reduced their hours for a few months, in the beginning
Only allowing 5 people into the store at once, but are now running at full swing, with a mask mandatory policy.

Back in the early 2000s we had Vietnamese gangs who hung out near the hydro shops and stuck trackers on peoples' cars while they were in the shops buying supplies. Then they would follow the trackers to the peoples' houses and rob them later. It went on for months before people figured out what was going on.
