The lawyer for Canada's so-called Prince of Pot says he'll appear in a Seattle court this summer to plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has steadfastly maintained Marc Emery is among the world's top 50 drug traffickers for selling millions of marijuana seeds to U.S. residents in the past decade.

Emery admits making millions selling the seeds through his Vancouver-based mail-order business. He says he used the money to finance his battle against the U.S. drug war.

Lawyer Ian Donaldson said Wednesday exact dates and details are not yet available as negotiations with the U.S District Attorney are continuing. He says charges of distributing seeds and money laundering would be dropped in exchange for the guilty plea.
