CANNABIS BUYERS' CLUB RAIDED
The Cannabis Buyers' Club of Canada says its "baking location" in
downtown Victoria was raided by police yesterday afternoon.
One person was arrested, spokeswoman Kristen Mann said in an interview.
Victoria police confirmed the raid took place.
Mann declined to provide an address for the bakery, but said it's
located in a residential area. The club uses the location to prepare
edible cannabis creations for about 3,000 people with physical
disabilities or medical ailments such as cancer, she said. The club
plans to hold a press conference this morning.
Meanwhile, the RCMP raided a residence in Nanaimo yesterday, seizing
54 marijuana plants, 55 kilograms of drying marijuana and $2,650.
A 44-year-old woman and 50-year-old man face charges.
