POT SELLER GETS TIME TO STEW

VANCOUVER -- The owner of a cafe that had been selling marijuana on
its menu will spend at least a few more days in jail after a judge
said he won't decide until tomorrow whether to grant her bail. Carol
Gwilt was arrested for the second time last week and accused of
breaching earlier bail conditions.

Gwilt had been arrested earlier this month on charges of trafficking
and possession of the proceeds of crime involving the sale of
marijuana at the Da Kine Cafe.

Officers raided the shop on Vancouver's funky Commercial Drive on
Sept. 9 and Gwilt and seven employees were charged with possessing
marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

Police said they seized $63,000, another $1,700 US, nine kg of
marijuana, and 300 cookies baked with hash or marijuana.

Cops estimated the cafe was doing about $30,000 per day in business, a
figure denied by store operators.
