The raid comes less than a week after the arrests of well-known marijuana activists Marc and Jodie Emery.
Five Cannabis Culture dispensary locations in Toronto were raided on March 9, along with one in Hamilton and another in Vancouver, in an investigation dubbed “Project Gator.”
The Emerys, and three others who were also charged with drug trafficking offences, have been released on bail.
