VANCOUVER - Vancouver marijuana advocate Marc Emery has been transferred to a low-security federal prison in Georgia for non-American "deportable aliens."

The so-called "prince of pot," who had expected to be transferred to a California facility, is now at the D. Ray James Correctional Facility in Folkston, Georgia.

The facility, which had been a state prison known for violent incidents among inmates, was changed in October to an Immigration and Naturalization Services low-security federal prison for "deportable aliens," according to a blog by Emery.

Emery, 52, was sentenced by a U.S. judge to five years in prison for selling marijuana seeds to U.S. customers through his business, Marc Emery Direct.

They should stop sending people to jail for selling marijuana related products. These people are just doing what they know is right. It is their own choice and i think there is nothing wrong with that. Instead of arresting these people, jail the murderers, rapist, crook politicians, and leave these people alone. They just making an honest living with a very nobel purpose
