CANADA'S PRINCE OF POT RETURNS

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

The marijuana activist has finished serving a four-year jail term in 
the U.S. for selling seeds online.

He's been informed he'll be released from a privately run Louisiana 
detention centre - where he was being processed for deportation - and 
then placed on the next flight to Detroit. From there, he'll be 
walked across the border to Windsor, Ont., likely on Tuesday, 
according to his wife, Jodie Emery.

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

Marc Emery 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 home with his wife to 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 Emery has indicated he will resume his political activities upon 
his return.
