Raymond Hathaway, a Scarborough paralegal, told the Toronto Sun on Wednesday he filed a $50,000 claim prior to the raids because the shop he was visiting, Scarborough Dispensary, was forced to shut down temporarily. "The dispensary was considering opening back up and I said please do not raid my dispensary as it is the only place that I get my oil," he said. "The day they decided to open up, the raids happened." In his original claim filed May 19, Hathaway states the city is "attacking another dispensary I use to access my medication." After the raids, he said he upped his claim to $1 million because he says his request for accommodation was ignored. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
