EMERY MAKES CASE ON 60 MINUTES

Marijuana activist Marc Emery, who is facing extradition to the U.S.,
got to share his story with approximately 12 million Americans on
CBS's Sunday night broadcast of 60 Minutes.

The self-proclaimed "Prince of Pot" told interviewer Bob Simon that
everything in the U.S. indictment against him is true, estimating
that he sold cannabis seeds over the Internet to about 70,000 Americans.

U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington John McKay told
Simon the charges against Emery are not political; the issue is the
amount of B.C. bud crossing the border.

"It has a reputation -- it's almost been marketed," said McKay. "This
marijuana from British Columbia is great pot."

Simon also spoke with ex-Vancouver mayor, Senator Larry Campbell, who
predicted Canadians will react with "outrage" if Emery is extradited.
