Canna Boss Threatened into eviction

As a result of the heavy handed tactics of the Toronto Police force, we have been forced into eviction from our current location. Though the media attention grabbing raids in May have subsided, the strategy of the Toronto Police had simply shifted to be that of a more sustained yet less sensational strategy. Through relentless (albeit smaller) raids on Toronto Dispensaries, they have been able to force the closure of a significant number of medical marijuana dispensaries across the GTA. The dispensaries (us included) that have been able to weather the sustained pressure from the Toronto Police have had these tactics in pressure increased to include landlords and property owners through threats and intimidation. Letters with increasingly threatening tone and borderline illegal stature and intimidation were regularly sent to landlords and property owners of dispensaries. It is through these unsubstantiated, heavy handed “bully” letters that we are forced to close our doors at our current location. Throughout the GTA, many of these tactics appear to be working for the Toronto Police. Though actually challenging these threats in court would likely have the charges and threats thrown out or simply not stand any true legal tests. At this point in time we are looking for an alternative space to re-open our doors so that you, our very loyal customers, will have the same level of access to the quality product that you have come to expect. We will be notifying via email, facebook or our website on any status updates on the new location. In the meantime, your continued support and understanding for our situation is greatly appreciated. If you haven’t already, we would encourage you to share this petition with like minded supporters. Every time this petition is signed it is sent directly to Mayor John Tory as well as to every city council member. Once again your loyalty and support is greatly valued by all of the staff at Canna Boss Dispensary. It is with this that we are able to strengthen our resolve and push towards opening another location. Sincerely, Canna Boss Team
