WACO - Drugs were the topic of protest Saturday afternoon, as a local pro-marijuana group joined a worldwide protest.

The group gathered on the corner of 8th and Franklin, trying to keep the government from extraditing Mark Emery to the U.S. from Canada to stand trial.

Emery is accused of mailing marijuana seeds all around the world, including into the United States.

Cliff Deuvall, a marijuana advocate, told News Channel 25, "What we want to accomplish is awareness, we live in an antiquated world, we have been fighting this prohibition for 75 years, and it's time it comes to an end."

Emery is scheduled to be extradited to the U.S. on Monday .
