For a crime to be extraditable, it must be an offense in both nations. Both Canada and the United States consider it a crime to sell marijuana. However, Canadian police have long turned a blind eye to seed sellers like Emery.
Ottawa University law professor Craig Forcese said the case is technically extraditable, even if it flies in the face of Canadian legal norms.
"As far as I can tell this case looks like a fairly straight, plain vanilla extradition. Where the sensitivities arise is just the differential views on the merits of prosecuting for marijuana."
