More than a week after marijuana activist Marc Emery was transferred to a prison in a southern U-S state, his supporters continue working to bring him home to Vancouver.
 
The self-proclaimed Prince of Pot is now at a low-security facility in Folkstone, Georgia that mostly houses non-U-S citizens.
 
In September, he was sentenced to five years for selling seeds by mail and phone order, but lawyer and friend Kirk Tousaw says Canada’s Government can act quickly to bring him home, "We’d just really like to get Marc back here. Have him serve his sentence here right? He plead guilty. The United States has gotten their pound of flesh and that’s all they should get. We should bring Marc home, so he can be with his wife Jodie."
 
Tousaw says Public Safety Minister Vic Toews can bring Emery home by this time next year by simply writing a letter.
