SEATTLE - Two associates of Vancouver pot activist Marc Emery have been sentenced in a Seattle courtroom to two years' probation.

Thirty-eight-year-old Michelle Rainey and 54-year-old Gregory Williams pled guilty to charges stemming from a 2005 grand jury indictment.

According to the facts in her plea agreement, Rainey worked for Emery from 1998 to 2005 and helped him send marijuana seeds and growing instructions to mail order customers - mostly in the U.S.

Williams' plea agreement says he handled the phone orders and wire transfer information used for payment and also sold cannabis seeds at Emery's store, numerous times to an undercover agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Williams also says in his plea agreement that Emery made more than $3 million a year selling marijuana seeds.

The so-called Prince of Pot has been on a cross-Canada farewell tour as he prepares for a minimum five-year sentence in the U.S.
