HIGH LOONIE RUFFLES POT EXPORTS TO U.S.

(CNS) - Canada's soaring loonie and an increasing number of U.S.
marijuana producers are combining to upset B.C.'s traditional
north-south flow of illegal weed, says the man dubbed the Prince of Pot.

Marc Emery said during an interview that with the loonie at parity
with the U.S. dollar, it's no longer lucrative enough for smugglers
to risk taking marijuana across the border.

Instead, they can earn almost as much by transporting it within
Canada, with emerging markets like Newfoundland taking up the slack.
Alberta and Saskatchewan are also strong markets.
