B.C. pot prices hit by rising loonie

VANCOUVER (CBC) - The rising Canadian dollar is affecting different markets - not all of them legal.

At least one watcher of the underground economy says the price of B.C. marijuana has gone up in the United States, and that could mean plummeting demand from Americans in future.
Marc Emery, head of the B.C. Marijuana Party, said there are several factors behind the rising price of B.C.'s most infamous export, including tighter border security and the loonie's steady ascent over the past five years.
Pot selling for $2,200 a kilo in 2002 would have cost an American only $1,600 because of the differences in the dollar, he said.
