Jodie Emery (born January 4, 1985) is a Canadian cannabis rights activist and politician. She is the estranged spouse of fellow activist Marc Emery. Until the business was shut down by police, the couple were co-owners of Cannabis Culture, a business that franchised pot dispensaries, later deemed to be illegal. They had obtained the cannabis from illegal sources, according to Crown prosecutors.[3][4] They are the former operators and owners of Cannabis Culture magazine and Pot TV.

She has run a cannabis legalisation platform in the Green Party of British Columbia, and the British Columbia Marijuana Party, and in 2014 unsuccessfully filed a nomination for the federal Liberal Party in the riding of Vancouver East.[5][6]
