MARIJUANA CAFE CLOSES AFTER RAID

VANCOUVER -- A cafe that had been selling sides of marijuana with its
food has closed for good.

The Da Kine cafe garnered national media attention last month when it
was raided by police officers clad in balaclavas, after media reports
highlighting the pot sales.

The city of Vancouver was scheduled to review the cafe's business
licence today. But a city spokeswoman issued a release yesterday
saying the operators have surrendered the licence and closed the premises.

Owner Carole Gwilt was charged with trafficking and possession of the
proceeds of crime after the Sept. 9 raid.
