2 DAUPHIN MEN CHARGED WITH POT POSSESSION

Marc Emery, the self-proclaimed Prince of Pot, didn't smoke any grass in 
Dauphin yesterday, but others did.

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.
