PRINCE OF POT ALMOST FREE

Marc Emery. Marijuana activist scheduled to return to Canada
Tuesday

Marc Emery - Canada's Prince of Pot - is expecting to be a free man
come Tuesday.

The marijuana activist, who has finished serving a four-year jail term
in the U.S. for selling seeds online, has been informed he'll be
placed on the next flight to Detroit (from a privately run Louisiana
detention centre where he was being processed for deportation) and
walked across the border to Windsor, Ont., likely on Tuesday,
according to his wife, Jodie Emery.

"He's been taking it day by day," said Jodie, about Marc's
preparations for his release.

Marc plans to make a statement and conduct media interviews once he
returns to Canada as a free man, before settling down for a picnic
with family, friends and supporters.

He plans to make a stopover in Toronto to visit more family and make
himself available to media before returning with his wife to their
home in Vancouver.

A rally is being planned for him at Victory Square, across the street
from his famous Cannabis Culture headquarters and seed shop.

Jodie Emery - who is seeking a nomination to run federally for the
Liberal party - told Metro she is flying to Windsor on Monday morning
and will be waiting for Marc on Tuesday at the city hall plaza near
the border.

Marc has indicated he will resume his political activities upon his
return.
