And they got arrested for it. Dauphin RCMP confirmed two men face possession charges after smoking marijuana in front of the Parkland detachment. In all, about 50 people attended the staged event to show their support for the decriminalization of marijuana. Emery, a British Columbia marijuana activist, was scheduled to be there, but couldn't make it. He was arrested Wednesday for smoking pot outside the Public Safety Building and spent the night at the Winnipeg Remand Centre before making bail late yesterday. Emery is touring the country and flagrantly smoking marijuana at police headquarters in what he calls the Great Canadian Smoke-Out. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
