The controversial medical marijuana store Weemedical Dispensary Society has been closed down after operating illegally for months without a proper business license on Pioneer Avenue in Agassiz.
The store which sold medical marijuana products to clients, sold its last product Wednesday morning when, according to witnesses, squad cars descended on the business, forcibly closing doors for good, and leaving clientele empty handed.
“On May 23, 2017 Members of the Agassiz RCMP executed a CDSA search warrant at Wee Medical in Agassiz seizing evidence related to the sale of Marijuana and Marijuana products,” Staff Sgt. Rennie told The Observer.
With the store’s inception back in March, Media Liaison Officer for UFVRD Cpl. Mike Rail commented, “The RCMP enforces the laws of Canada, a business in contravention of the CDSA Act will be subject to full investigation.”
The store saw similar controversy in Chilliwack, and was also shut down and subject to fines of up to $44,000.
