PASS THE BROWNIES, POT CAFE OWNER ADVISES

VANCOUVER - A Vancouver cafe operator who offers marijuana on her menu says
people need a crime-free method of getting the weed and she's going public
to raise awareness on the issue.

"Every law to do with cannabis has to be taken off the books," said Carol
Gwilt, owner of Da Kine Smoke and Beverage Shop on Vancouver's hip
Commercial Drive.

"There's nothing criminal about cannabis."

Normally, Gwilt's customers can get a menu and select some pot before
someone goes into the back to get the order. But there was no pot on the
premises Wednesday, Gwilt said.

"I'm just trying to be a business person," Gwilt said. "There's obviously a
huge market.

"I don't consider what we're doing illegal. We want a lot of these stores.
We want these across Canada."
