Prince of Pot Marc Emery, a temporarily free man in his home town while awaiting extradition to enter the U.S. prison system, spent the weekend smoking marijuana with Olympics visitors making a pilgrimage to his Hastings Street store, according to a post to his partner's Facebook page.
"Downtown Vancouver is frickin' packed. Ugh. So is our store... there's been a stupidly long line up all day to have free bong hits with Marc. Thank god I hid away my own personal stash away -- he's smoked all of our weed with strangers. It's definitely a LOT. I hope those strangers are supporters and actually DO SOMETHING to help Marc and the greater cause," reads Jodie Joanna Emery's Facebook post.
But Marc Emery didn't receive the same hospitality from VANOC, according to a post he made to his own Facebook page. Emery wrote that he "is choked that VANOC officially refused to let Jodie & I in the Molson Hockey Tent as guests of CNN's i-Reporter to watch the US-Canada game because they are afraid to have 'The Prince of Pot' near the Olympic athletes who are there. The Prince of Pot NOT allowed in a beer tent lest the shiny reputation of these athletes is compromised by being in close proximity to a political party leader!"

As a non pot user, I do find
As a non pot user, I do find it interesting that so many folks took advantage of some free stuff, from a guy who is to end up in a US jail. The US is a strange place, where guns are everywhere and one could get more time from smoking a weed ,than some serious stuff. Wonder how many of the users at the free line up are US citizens? Reminds me of the crowd of Yankees buying up every Cuban cigar they can get their hands on each time a ship shows up in the local harbour . Both countries are two faced as they spend millions, and a lot of time, chasing people who smoke the stuff and sort of miss a lot of the read bad guys. If the stuff was legal, just as Liquor was made legal a lot of criminals would no longer have customers.Better for the tax collectors as well
