Pot advocate Marc Emery approved for return to Canada


The wife of Canada's so-called Prince of Pot says the U.S. government has agreed to transfer her imprisoned husband back home, but Canada's government still needs to give its approval.

A July 9 letter from the U.S. Department of Justice obtained by The Canadian Press said Marc Emery's transfer has now been approved.

Emery's wife, Jodie, said she was informed of the decision by email Wednesday afternoon, about 30 minutes after talking to her husband who is completing a five-year prison sentence at medium-security prison in Yazoo City, Miss. for selling cannabis seeds to U.S. customers over the Internet.
