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," 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 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 - 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.
