The U.S. is set to release an outspoken Canadian marijuana activist, Marc Emery, jailed for selling seeds to American customers as he completes his sentence in a Mississippi prison. Emery has spent approximately 1,590 days in jail and was finally processed for release from Yazoo City Medium, i.e. a medium-security federal prison, on Wednesday morning. Emery’s wife, Jodie Emery, explained that he is set to arrive at LaSalle Detention Facility in Jena, La., on Thursday, where he may spend a few days or a week before being transported to the Detroit-Windsor border to Canada.
Mr. Emery hopes he will be able to enter Canada in mid-August, though his wife hopes to see him either on July 23, i.e. the couple’s eight-year anniversary, or July 29, i.e. nine years anniversary of the day he was arrested. At the time of his arrest, Vancouver police acted on American charges and raided Mr. Emery’s Cannabis Culture headquarters on West Hastings Street while Mr. Emery was arrested in Halifax while preparing to speak at a medical-marijuana rally.
Revealing his plans, Mr. Emery wrote in his final blog post from prison that “after spending five days out there, I will return with Jodie to Vancouver,” where I “have a few public events and private parties, get settled in at work in our new Cannabis Culture store, and marvel at all the changes in Vancouver – including hundreds of new buildings, 35 dispensaries, years of developments at Marc & Jodie Emery’s Cannabis Culture store and more.”
