`Prince of pot' faces hearing
One of the world's leading cannabis legalization campaigners faced an extradition hearing yesterday in Vancouver as US drugs agencies seek to put him on trial in the US. Marc Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture, faces charges of trafficking in marijuana seeds and money laundering. His supporters demonstrated outside Canadian embassies in more than 30 countries during the past week to urge Ottowa not to yield to pressure from the US.
