Just for personal use/Durham Regional Police
As shoppers on Bayview Ave. will have observed, marijuana use is now legal (three stores to date). No doubt they’re all absolutely operating by the book but the explosion of outlets across the City is evidence the market is just enormous. This week Durham Regional Police announced the arrest of 30 people and the seizure of illegal plants valued at more than $50 million. Out in Durham where there’s lots of open space, police have so far raided 17 farms, indoor and outdoor. The DPR notes tartly that while the operators of these farms all held licenses from Health Canada to grow marijuana for medical purposes “it does not appear that any monitoring of these private growing operations had occurred”.
