'PRINCE OF POT'

TORONTO - About 20,000 people took part in a pro-marijuana rally
and parade yesterday in Toronto "" many of them openly smoking the
drug. It was part of the 2007 Global Marijuana March and in total 232
cities held similar events.

The pot paraders said they want Canada to legalize marijuana.

Canada's so-called "Prince of Pot" was among those in attendance

Culture magazine.

Incredible

He has been arrested more than 20 times in Canada and later this month
will be in B.C. Supreme Court for a hearing to determine whether he
will be extradited to the U.S. to face charges of selling marijuana
seeds to Americans through the mail.

Emery called it incredible that 20,000 people were meeting only 100
metres from the legislature to demand that marijuana be legalized.
