PRO-POT 'PRINCE' RAIDED

VANCOUVER (CP) -- Police raided a business run by the head of the B.C.
Marijuana party yesterday, based on a search warrant requested by the U.S.
government, which wants Marc Emery extradited to face charges related to
the sale of marijuana seeds on the Internet and by mail.

Emery, the leader of the party, was not at the store when it was raided,
but U.S. justice officials said he was arrested earlier yesterday in Nova
Scotia by the RCMP.

Several officers, some in plain clothes, some in uniform, raided the
marijuana seed and paraphernalia store on West Hastings Street in downtown
Vancouver that is run by Emery, whom the search warrant also described by
his alias "The Prince of Pot."
