Emery, the 47-year-old "Prince of Pot" who faces potential extradition to the United States for selling marijuana seeds, had compared the prosecution of people who deal in and use marijuana to the treatment of Jews under the Nazi regime. "I feel ashamed when my Jewish friends tell me they are ill at ease by my using the terms Nazi or Holocaust when referring to this issue or incident," Emery wrote Wednesday on his website, cannabis.com. - --- MAP posted-by: Elizabeth Wehrman
