PRO-POT PROTEST ON FERRY

VICTORIA - Forget the Sunshine Breaakfast. There could be a little
something extra in the air on board B.C. ferries running between Nanaimo's
Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver.

The B.C. Marijuana Party is vowing to be on board ferries plying that route
for the next two weeks to sprinkle ground-up marijuana and cayenne pepper
powder, and spray distilled marijuana. They are protesting against the
actions last week of West Vancouver Police, who used drug-sniffing dogs to
find marijuana hidden in cars on board ferries. Three people were arrested.

"We are totally opposed to the police and the government and we have to
defend our people," says Marc Emery, B.C. Marijuana Party president.
