'PRINCE OF POT' TO BE EXTRADITED
Canada's self-proclaimed Prince of Pot was ordered extradited
yesterday to face drug and money-laundering charges in the U.S.
Marijuana activist Marc Emery turned himself in to police yesterday
and was informed that Justice Minister Robert Nicholson has ordered
his extradition.
The B.C. man had been out on bail since the fall, while facing a
five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to
manufacture marijuana in the U.S.
The charges against Emery and two of his associates at his Culture
Cannabis store in Vancouver were filed after they were caught selling
marijuana seeds across the border.
