VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The Prince of Pot could be extradited to the U.S. any day, but it's hoped a petition will see the Federal Justice Minister reconsider.  MPs from three of Canada's major political parties present a petition in the House of Commons today which aims to keep Marc Emery in Canada.
 
Emery has pleaded guilty to a drug distribution charge in the U.S., after he was arrested in 2005 for selling marijuana seeds to American customers.  Emery faced a possible life sentence if the case went to trial.  He'll spend five years in a U.S. prison on a drug distribution charge if extradited.
