PRINCE OF POT PLEADING

The Prince of Pot is ready to turn in his hash robes for prison
garbs, but only if he can save his friends.

Marijuana activist Marc Emery emerged from a Vancouver courtroom
yesterday in a buoyant mood after being granted an adjournment to his
extradition hearing until Feb. 6.

Emery - who is wanted by U.S. authorities for selling pot seeds
online - says the adjournment will give him more time to negotiate a
deal between Canadian and American authorities that would see him
spend five years in a Canadian prison and get Michelle Rainey and
Greg Williams, his co- accused, off the hook.

The alternative for Emery could be life in an American prison.

"Five years in jail is an honourous punishment," Emery said. "What's
happened to me is an injustice, but ... and don't have any regrets."
