'PRINCE OF POT' SURRENDERS
VANCOUVER -- After flouting marijuana laws for decades, British
Columbia's so-called prince of pot turned himself in Monday to face
extradition to the U.S. But Marc Emery was defiant until the end.
"Plant the seeds of freedom. Over grow the government everyone," Emery
yelled as he was led away by sheriffs at the B.C. Supreme Court in
downtown Vancouver.
Earlier this month, Emery reached a plea agreement to serve a
five-year prison term for selling marijuana seeds to American
customers. Emery said he was hopeful the justice minister wouldn't
approve extradition to the U.S. "And if they do sign they must be
punished in the next election," he said.
