Pot block burns in B.C.

There was a major fire yesterday at the historic Gastown building in Vancouver, B.C. that housed the offices of Pot-TV. Blunt Brothers Bar and Cabbage and
Kinx – were destroyed while Marc Emery's BC Marijuana Party bookstore along with The Urban Shaman and B.C. Marijuana Party offices sustained heavy heat and water damage.

All told the damage is likely to run up to $25,000. Since no company would underwrite a policy, the building was uninsured, nonetheless Emery vows to reopen. If you can help, donations can be sent to the POT-TV or the BC Marijuana Party at 307 W. Hastings, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 1H6 as well as via PayPal to
marc@cannabisculture.com.

Early reports indicate the fire started in a dumpster behind the bookstore. No one is saying but considering Marc's high profile on the legalization of cannabis and the recent opening of a DEA office in British Columbia, this writer finds the circumstances extremely suspicious.

Updates to follow as they become available.
