A bit of a raging controversy here in Vancouver. Marc Emery, I understand, is the president
of the 'B.C. Marijuana Party' and allegedly operates a website internationally, selling marijuana
seeds - an operation that the authorities here - have turned a blind eye to for years.
Probably galled by his self-description as "The Prince of Pot"
and the fact that most of his seeds were being sold into the US,
the United States DEA requested from the Vancouver City police the arrest
of Emery for potential extradition to the US to face charges of
drug trafficing, conspiracy etc. Many folks in Vancouver are outraged that
the long of the DEA is somehow breaching Canada's sovereignty by reaching
it's long arm up here to arrest a Canadian national.
Anyhow - we were lunching downtown yesterday and spotted the bulding housing Emery et al and thought it would make a interesting PaD ! :o)
