Canada's self-proclaimed "Prince of Pot" was escorted out of B. C. Supreme Court and into jail Monday to await extradition to the U. S., where he is to serve up to five years in prison for shipping marijuana seeds across the border.
Marc Emery, 51, was indicted in 2005 along with two associates on drug and money-laundering charges stemming from a lucrative mail-order pot-seed business run out of Emery's Vancouver book and paraphernalia shop, which also doubled as B. C.'s Marijuana Party headquarters.
