By: Renee Bernard, News 1130Marc Emery, the self-proclaimed "Prince of Pot," has only begun to serve his sentence in the States, and already there are calls for him to come home.
A rally took place in Vancouver today to free the man who was convicted of selling pot seeds in the US via mail and online.
Jacob Hunter, the rally’s organizer, claims similar rallies are being held around the world, in countries as far as China and Norway. "I don’t think Marc should be in jail at all, but I am quite frankly willing to accept the half-measure of just bringing him home to Canada, which I would point out is actually a legal obligation for the public safety minister. He does not have a choice of whether or not to return Marc to Canada. Under the law, he actually has to."
Emery was sentenced last week to five years in jail.
