DRUG TEMPLE'S HIGH-PRIEST BUST

(AP) - A New Jersey marijuana advocate dubbed NJ Weedman has been 
arrested again on pot charges after police raided his restaurant and 
cannabis temple.

Ed Forchion was arrested Wednesday along with 10 other people after a 
raid of his business across the street from Trenton City Hall.

Forchion has spent time in prison on previous drug charges. He wasn't 
immediately available to comment.

Forchion opened NJ Weedman's Joint and an attached cannabis church 
last year. He sued Trenton police last month, saying they infringed 
on his religious rights after shutting down the cannabis temple for 
operating too late.
