Between $80,000 and $100,000 worth of products was taken by the province's Community Safety Unit on March 23.
The Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club plans to file an injunction and a lawsuit against the provincial government following a raid of the club’s products.
The club contravenes current law, which does not allow for storefronts to sell medical products, and Health Canada has a 10 mg THC limit on edibles.“We will not stop supplying those medicines that have been keeping people alive for a long time,” Smith said. There has been a lot of fear and anxiety in members worried the club was shut down, Smith said, but he and staff are committed to providing cannabis products despite potential future raids.
A member for 20 years, Margaret Lang said the club’s products are the only thing that help her sleep.Smith is bracing for more raids.Smith and the club’s society were fined a total of $6.5 million in February 2022 for selling marijuana illegally at its Johnson Street site. The fine is under appeal, Smith said.
