Local pot dealers are pretty busy

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - February 23, 2010

The host city of the Winter Olympics is home to Canada's self-proclaimed "Prince of Pot," Marc Emery.

He's the leader of the British Columbia Marijuana Party.

He says local pot dealers have never been so busy.

Pot possession is illegal in Canada.

But stores in Vancouver openly sell seeds.

And Emery owns a shop that has everything from bongs to pot-leaf T-shirts.

Authorities say marijuana enforcement isn't a security priority for the games.
