Vancouver police say officers weren’t conducting a raid when they seized cannabis products from a program that offers marijuana to heroin addicts on the city’s Downtown Eastside. They say officers allowed the man, who told them the cannabis products were medicinal, to pack up and leave with no further action. But police say they were forced to act the next day despite a hostile crowd when they found the same prepackaged and loose cannabis products, pill capsules, vaping products and two bottles of an unknown white powder. Officers say the market’s executive director also told them the cannabis products were unwelcome in the market. (The Canadian Press, CTV Vancouver)
