'Prince of Pot' Jailed for Allegedly Selling Mail-Order Marijuana Seeds
VANCOUVER,
British Columbia — Canada's so-called Prince of Pot is now in jail
awaiting extradition to the United States for selling marijuana seeds.
Marc
Emery has sold millions of marijuana seeds around the world by mail
over the past decade. In doing so, he has drawn the attention of U.S.
drug officials, who want him extradited to Seattle.
Emery
has agreed to plead guilty in Seattle to one count of marijuana
distribution in exchange for dismissal of all other counts, and the
U.S. Attorney's Office is pressing for a sentence of five to eight
years in a U.S. prison.
Emery will plead
guilty in a Seattle court at a later date. Emery will be extradited
after Canada's justice minister signs a surrender order.
