ACTIVIST SUPPORTS THE TEAM AND A TOKE

The Number 420 Emblazons The Arms And Back Of Marc Emery's Vancouver
Canucks Jersey.

Emery, Vancouver's preeminent marijuana-activist, said the jersey is
one of a kind and even required special permission from Canucks brass
to get it made.

"I told them, 'You should sell 420 uniforms.' They said, 'We're not
having a bunch of 420 uniforms running around the stadium. You're the
only one, and yours is the only one we'll ever make.' It was kind of
nice to know."

The number 420, the international call sign for marijuana, will serve
as a rallying cry today, April 20, when an expected 7,000 people
converge on the Vancouver Art Gallery to take part in a communal toke.

He expects the number of people at today's event will be higher than
in the past because students from some local high schools will be out
on a pro-development day.

Emery, who was arrested in July 2005 at the request of the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration over a seed selling business, begins his
high-profile extradition hearing at the end of next month.

If extradited and convicted in the U.S., Emery said he could face
between 50 and 300 years in jail.

"My lawyer thinks I'm doomed. There's nothing there that provides an
ordinary Canadian, who has done nothing wrong, to be judged by a
Canadian law, in a Canadian court, by a Canadian judge."
