A Toronto marijuana retailer heads to court Thursday morning, hoping to convince a judge that many of the charges laid after last year's wide-ranging Project Claudia raids are unconstitutional. "This is one of the last times I have a chance to, frankly, embarrass the governmentabout how careless they've been in taking seriously the issue of medical marijuana," Young told CBC Toronto. Alan Young, professor at Osgoode Hall Law School and a founder of The Innocence Project, is scheduled to launch a constitutional challenge to the Project Claudia raids in court Thursday morning. Mark Stupak, who runs medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Toronto, was one of the people arrested during the Project Claudia raids in May, 2016. In May of 2016, Toronto police raided 43 storefront pot distributors, as part of Project Claudia.
