Cannabis Culture magazine evolved from a publication called "The Marijuana & Hemp Newsletter" launched by Emery in 1994.

[4] In 2000, Cannabis Culture was pulled off store shelves in Timmins, Ontario, Canada.

[8] Because it promotes the use and cultivation of marijuana, Cannabis Culture magazine is banned in some countries, such as Australia, and has had problems with New Zealand customs.

Cannabis Culture also hosts an active discussion forum and is the sister site to the Pot TV Network.

On May 10, 2010, Emery was ordered to surrender to authorities and was deported to the United States.
