PRINCE OF POT IN PLEA BARGAIN

Marc Emery, Vancouver's self-styled Prince of Pot, has tentatively 
agreed to a five-year prison term in a plea bargain over U.S. money 
laundering and marijuana seed-selling charges. Facing an extradition 
hearing Jan. 21 and the all-but-certain prospect of delivery to 
American authorities, Emery has cut a deal with U.S. prosecutors to 
serve his sentence in Canada.

He also hopes it will save his two co-accused -- Michelle Rainey and 
Greg Williams. The three were arrested in August 2005 at the request 
of the United States.
