B.C. POT CAFE FACES PROBE

VANCOUVER -- Police will stop ignoring the illegal marijuana
menu-offerings at a local cafe, B.C. Solicitor General Rich Coleman
predicted yesterday. The Da Kine Cafe, located in the city's funky
Commercial Drive area, has been the subject of blazing headlines
lately for allegedly selling pot over the counter.

"It shouldn't be happening. It's illegal. And frankly, my expectation
is that over the next number of days an investigation will allow us to
deal with this thing," Coleman said.

"I don't think we need a ho-hum attitude on anything to do with drugs.
You've got people driving in to a neighbourhood, buying marijuana,
smoking it, and driving away in their cars. That's people who are now
under the influence of something."
