A couple days ago, one of the oldest, and one of the last standing dispensaries in Canada was raided by CSU (consumer safety unit). This shop has been operating in civil defiance of the law since 1996, and the staff are some of the most humble pioneers in this space.
Due to the Canadian regulations, high dose edibles and oils are either not available, or the excise tax pushes the cost way above what most struggling patients can afford. Aside from that, this shop operates in an area of town known for way harder drugs, for which the law enforcement does absolutely nothing.
The suppliers of this store filled the shelves again within 24 hours, and the staff opened the next day again, honestly some of the most kind hearted and amazing people i know in this space.
Just want to raise awareness that, in todays age some of us have not given up, nor bent the knee in the face of government overreach, and there are still people very much fighting for better access for those who cant fight themselves.
Ted Smith is a legend, and i highly respect him and his staff. They dont deserve this shit.
