"B.C. Marijuana Party president Marc Emery, who faces extradition to the U.S. on drug and money-laundering charges, has been granted bail. A B.C. Supreme Court judge set bail at $50,000 for the man described as Canada's "Prince of Pot." "
That's right, The US couldn't get him without bail, so "Round One goes to the good guys!" :cool:

PRINCE OF WEED TEMPORARILY FREED OVER DEEDS WITH SEEDS
The Prince Of Pot Is Out Of The Joint.
Awaiting an extradition hearing to the United States that could see him face a jail term of 20 years, Marc Emery, pot activist and head of the B.C. Marijuana Party, was released yesterday on $50,000 bail.
Emery, who was arrested in Halifax on Friday, is charged in the U.S. along with two others for conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, conspiracy to distribute marijuana seeds and conspiracy to engage in money laundering.
The charges stem from an 18-month investigation that saw a U.S. agent buy marijuana seeds from Emery and his associates Greg Williams and Michelle Rainey-Fenkarek.
Supporters filled the courtroom, during yesterday's B.C. Supreme Court bail hearing. Others wore costumes and waved colourful flags on the sidewalks outside the Vancouver Law Courts.
Emery's lawyer, John Conroy, told Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm that he was concerned with the "unfairness" of the charges.
He said the sentence Emery faces in the U.S. would be a cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of his Charter Rights in Canada.
He noted that Emery's seed business had operated openly for many years without any action on the part of the Vancouver Police Department. And what's more, Conroy said, Health Canada recommends people with medical marijuana exemptions purchase their seeds through the Internet.
Crown counsel argued against granting Emery bail, saying he was a "flight risk if released" because of the lucrative nature of his marijuana seed business.
Conroy produced bank receipts from Emery's many ventures -- Marc Emery Direct marijuana seed business, the Internet site PotTV and the magazine Cannabis Culture.
Justice Dohm granted set bail at $50,000, a $10,000 deposit as well as four $10,000 assurances.
Williams and Rainey-Fenarek were also granted bail of $25,000 each.
