PRINCE OF POT GRANTED BAIL IN FACE OF U.S. EXTRADITION

VANCOUVER - The B.C. Marijuana party leader being sought for extradition to
the United States on drug charges was granted bail Tuesday in B.C. Supreme
Court.

But due to difficulties securing the necessary sureties, it remains unclear
when Marc Emery might be freed.

The 47-year-old activist was arrested in Halifax on Friday for allegedly
selling marijuana seeds for use in U.S. grow ops. He also faces a charge of
money-laundering.

Dubbed the Prince of Pot by U.S. authorities, he was transferred to
Vancouver and appeared in court along with co-accused Gregory Keith Williams.
