POT SELLER TO APPEAL ORDER

The owner of one of B.C.'s largest marijuana-dispensary chains says 
he plans to fight a court injunction against his Abbotsford store.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Walker granted a petition by the City 
of Abbotsford on Monday and ordered Weeds Glass & Gifts on 1032451 
Clearbrook Rd., which started operating last summer, to stop selling 
cannabis and cannabis products by Friday.

"We plan to appeal this, and continue fighting this," said owner Don 
Briere, a marijuana activist and entrepreneur who operates 19 stores in B.C.

Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun said he expects the store's operator to 
abide by the court's ruling.

"This business was operating without a valid business licence and we 
are pleased that the judge has seen fit to uphold our bylaws," Braun said.
