As they study the feasibility of opening safer injection sites in Hamilton, the city is seeking feedback from the community. A survey - posted online at www.hamilton.ca/VAN - will be open from Oct. 5 to 26 for anyone who lives or works in the city. The feedback gathered through the survey will "help inform next steps" as the city considers whether safer injection sites would be an effective harm reduction service in Hamilton, in the wake of a nationwide opioid overdose crisis.

If you spot some pot, make the call. But provincial police are asking callers to exercise caution. Area residents are being asked to report any outdoor marijuana grow-ops they may happen to come across in their travels. "Marijuana harvesting season is approaching and the OPP would like the assistance of the public in reporting suspicious activity," said Nottawasaga OPP Acting Sgt. Paul Nancekivell. "Usually outdoor marijuana is kept outdoors as long as possible to maximize the yield. The harvesting usually begins after the first frost of the year, as most plants will not typically survive a second frost." If you are out hiking in remote areas, watch out for the telltale signs of an outdoor marijuana grow operation, he added. [continues 335 words]
After a car crash nearly killed her when she was 17, Jessie Lawson survived only to live with chronic pain and a daily existence taking a host of prescription medications. But in 2001, Lawson, who hails from a family with two generations of proud military service, dropped the news she was tossing away the pharmaceuticals in favour of medical marijuana. "There's a ridiculous social stigma that goes along with it. It's awful," Lawson said. Visiting with the former employees-turned-volunteers at Sunrise Medicinal on Dunlop Street West, Lawson said she was so impressed with the professional atmosphere at the downtown Barrie medical marijuana dispensary, she brought her 70-year-old mother in for a tour of the facility.

Marijuana advocates say marijuana stores are here to stay and urge city to draft regulations like Vancouver has A group of marijuana advocates say council should accept that pot stores are here to stay and develop some city regulations to deal with them. They said so at a rally outside City Hall on Thursday. It started with about six people at 4 p.m., with the crowd growing steadily until the rally ended at 6 p.m. Organizers Wayne Matheson and Eamon Cyr said their advocacy group is called Cannabis Culture Fighting Unjust Laws.

Re: Liberals plan to regulate vaping to shield youth, Sept. 28. This is happening while illegal pot shops are open and some are within sight of schools and other youth organizations. What about shielding our youth from marijuana, illegal or not? There appears to be no strategy from anyone: the federal government, city council or police, for dealing with illegal pot shops. Pat Tierney, Cardinal [end]
Lawyer says selling pot without approval 'unlawful' The legal basis for Durham Regional Police permitting one of its officers to become a director of an unlicensed marijuana dispensary remains a mystery. The decision was made after the police force received a legal opinion about the issue, but it continues to refuse to make anything public about the opinion or even the name of the lawyer who provided it. "We will not share the opinion in whole or in part, as that is confidential information," says Dave Selby, a spokesman for the Durham police. [continues 751 words]
Sunrise Medicinal has reopened its doors less than a month after Barrie police raided it and another marijuana dispensary, charging five men with drug offences. An employee answering the phone at Sunrise said the downtown store is not selling marijuana, just providing information about medical cannabis, and he directed this reporter to an online City of Barrie suggestion forum where a post urges Sunrise be able to again sell marijuana. "Why would you shut down a dispensary that, first and foremost, helped people who had documented medical issues? They operated in full view," wrote the poster, whose name is listed as Marissa. "Because of Sunrise and dispensaries like it, people like me have been able to get off of all my pharmaceuticals. We are talking 20 years of opioids. I manage my pain and medical issues with medical marijuana. You have now forced me to start buying from questionable sources and questionable product." [continues 288 words]
Niagara Regional Police say legal medical marijuana licences issued by Health Canada are being used to mask illegal marijuana-growing operations. The NRP's guns, gangs and grows unit executed a search warrant at a Niagara-on-the-Lake farm Monday. Over the past 13 months, the police have executed three search warrants at 1651 Lakeshore Rd. and arrested 18 people while seizing 4,015 marijuana plants worth about $4 million on the street. All matters are before the courts, but investigators believe the people are hiding criminal activities by using legal medical marijuana licences to produce marijuana for sale on the black market.

From zoning bylaws to policing, it's a new world for enforcement Tom Poirier, the owner of an army surplus store in a strip mall off Merivale Road, watched with curiosity as a new business prepared to open next door. Poirier discussed the odd renovations with Bill Chappell, who owns a hobby shop in the mall on Roydon Place. The front room of the new business had a sliding window in the middle of the back wall. "I was joking around with Bill," says Poirier. "I said, 'You see that wall and the window? I betcha they're going to sell drugs!" [continues 1323 words]
Client info e-mailed to almost 500 people Who's shopping at Ottawa's largest local marijuana dispensary chain? That information has been widely shared after Magna Terra Health Services accidentally sent an email to nearly 500 "clients and friends" that listed all their email addresses. Some Magna Terra customers who want to keep their medical marijuana purchases private are upset. Magna Terra president Franco Vigile sent a second email apologizing for the privacy breach and saying the employee responsible for the original email sent Sept. 30 had been let go.

WATERLOO REGION - Of the 26 charges laid last year for driving while high on drugs, one driver had 17 different drugs in his system. "The driver was severely addicted," said Const. William Hand, co-ordinator of the drug cognition expert program with Waterloo Regional Police, which has nine officers trained as specialists in recognizing the signs of those driving high. The drug of choice that drug recognition officers see most is opiates such as oxycodone, heroin and methadone. Waterloo Regional Police have also stopped drivers on stimulants such as cocaine, meth and crack. [continues 328 words]
The public has been credited with helping Ontario Provincial Police officers collar thieves and vandals in North Glengarry over the Summer. Now citizens are being asked to keep an eye out for illicit harvesters. "It is greatly appreciated," said Sgt. Simon Hardy. "It shows how effectively we can resolve matters when we work hand-in-hand with communities. I would like to thank the community for that." In addressing township council, Sgt. Hardy said police have arrested "several local individuals" and as a result of two separate investigations, apprehended two suspects for "numerous thefts from motor vehicles." [continues 617 words]

Liquormen's Ol' Dirty Canadian Whisky, which is promoted by the Trailer Park Boys, suggests you should mix its booze with a "six-paper joint." It also suggests it's the right booze to drink early in the morning.

Ottawa achieved a dubious distinction over the weekend when the capital saw its 50th shooting of 2016. With a quarter of the year left to go, that beats the previous record of 49 set in 2014. Now, I am not prepared to invite outrage and opprobrium from the left by suggesting that we might encapsulate the increased violence with the sobriquet of "welcome to Justin Trudeau's Canada." But it does suggest that while Canada enforces some of the toughest gun control legislation in the world, the criminals never have any difficulty in obtaining weapons. [continues 580 words]
An ad campaign for a whisky brand associated with the Trailer Park Boys has been described as "dangerous" by the premier of Ontario - and Windsor's Shoutabout Creative Agency couldn't be happier. The Walkerville-based ad agency worked on the promotional materials for Liquormen's OL' Dirty Canadian Whisky - materials replete with four-letter words, references to drug use, and tongue-in-cheek encouragement of alcoholism. Premier Kathleen Wynne was taken aback by the advertising when told about it by reporters at an unrelated news conference on Monday. [continues 467 words]
Licence suspension, $180 fine take effect Sunday for those caught driving while high Motorists stopped by police for driving while high on marijuana - or other drugs - will face the same penalties as drunk drivers starting Sunday in Ontario. At a minimum, that means a fine of $180 and an immediate licence suspension under legislation passed last year to combat growing problems with drivers under the influence. Criminal charges can also be laid, as with drunk driving. Sentences can range up to five years. "What we do know from law enforcement is that there is an increase of those who are impaired by drugs, especially in combination with alcohol," Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca said this week.

In the national back-and-forth conversation over how to treat illegal marijuana stores, Peterborough police have weighed in forcefully on the shut-'em-down side. That's not surprising and not a position that should be criticized. When the owner of a local Cannabis Culture pot franchise announced in August that he would open a George St. store we suggested police would be best to let the store operate while monitoring its promise not to sell to minors or to those without a doctor's letter stating they require marijuana for medical purposes. [continues 362 words]
The legalization of marijuana, we are told, is coming. The Trudeau government has promised to introduce legislation by next spring. But on the streets of Ottawa, legalization appears to be in effect already. Pot shops have been springing up all over the city, peddling mostly "medicinal" marijuana products: Brownies, candy, gummies, you name it. At last count, there were roughly 15 known shops in the city. These shops are, at least for the moment, illegal. There are licensed producers for medical marijuana, and Canada Post is their delivery mechanism. Storefronts selling weed or weed-laced products - either to medical or recreational users - is not on.

Cannabis Culture founder says two people were arrested Cannabis Culture was raided again and shut down by city police Thursday morning. The marijuana store at 282 George St. N. opened earlier this month and was raided by police within days, on Sept. 15. It was shut down until Tuesday morning, when it reopened at 10 a.m. The store drew lineups until Thursday at about 10:30 a.m. when police arrived. At least four Peterborough Police officers were seen inside the store following the raid. [continues 588 words]
Beginning Sunday, offence will match penalties faced by drunk drivers Stiffer penalties for those who choose to drive while under the influence of drugs will be meted out beginning Sunday. The Ministry of Transportation announced Wednesday afternoon that the penalties would match those faced by drivers impaired by alcohol. "You do see drug use and driving regularly," Sgt. Darren Keuhl of the Kingston Police's traffic enforcement unit said. "And maybe people are thinking, 'well, I'm not drinking and driving,' I think that is what the government is tiring to impress upon drivers that, no, it's as bad, if not worse than drinking and driving."

Smoking marijuana can impair one's thought processes, but all the federal government needs to do is talk about it to achieve a state of surreal confusion. Consider the situation today. Marijuana is going to be legalized next year. Cool. In the meantime, illegal pot stores are proliferating under the guise of offering medical marijuana. Since they are illegal, and theoretically don't exist, they are unaffected by zoning regulations and business licence requirements. Little is known about quality of what they sell. When Health Canada received a report about dangerous toxins in pot sold in dispensaries in Vancouver, it did nothing. Police don't know what to do about this, and in Ottawa, they are not enforcing existing law. [continues 519 words]
Vance Badawey recalls arguing against a proposed medical marijuana greenhouse on Pinecrest Road back when he was Port Colborne's mayor. Now as Niagara Centre's MP, Badawey feels he's in a better position to deal with the issue that city council was then powerless to prevent. At the time, he said was concerned about the impact growing medical marijuana could have on the residential properties surrounding the greenhouse, and suggested it would be better suited to an industrial property. However, because the greenhouse land was already zoned agricultural, the city's hands were tied. The medical marijuana facility on the city's rural east side, formerly operated as Muileboom Greenhouse, was the scene of a violent robbery Sept. 19 in which two people were held at gunpoint.

Ontario will implement stricter drug-impaired driving penalties beginning on Sunday, but a local lawyer who handles a lot of impaired driving cases questions what practical impact it will have. Brian Ducharme said he has handled a few drug-impaired driving cases, none of which resulted in a conviction. "I've had some but not a lot, frankly, because it's very different to prove impairment by a drug," said Ducharme. "There's no scientific evidence that can prove that. "What the police do is they force you to provide a urine sample, but the urine sample doesn't prove impairment by a drug, it can prove that a drug is in someone's system, but it doesn't prove when the drug entered the system."

Smoking up more than your partner causes problems With dispensaries popping up on every corner and a popular pro-legalization prime minister, some Canadians have a case of reefer madness. But for couples learning their drug-use preferences are incompatible, the result can be reefer sadness instead. Take Amanda and Jeff,* a couple in their 30s from Belleville, Ont. For the last few months Amanda, who suffers chronic pain due to a serious car accident years ago, has been using medical marijuana from a dispensary to help her sleep. [continues 690 words]
The drug trade is perpetuating violence and cruelty that is mind-boggling and unprecedented. The futile war on drugs simply cannot be won. Continuing to defy and ignore more than 100 years of failed prohibition is counter-productive and irresponsible. Prohibition, as history shows, whether it be for alcohol or illegal drugs, fuels violent crime. Law enforcement simply does not, nor has it ever, reduced or dried up the supply of illegal drugs. Reducing the amount of illegal drugs in any community only increases the violence ... the lesser the amount, the greater the fight among drug gangs to control the remaining supply. Drug lords are not dumb; it's simple economics. [continues 95 words]

Mayor Jim Watson suggested Wednesday that police need to smoke out marijuana dispensaries, which are sprouting all across Ottawa. "I would like to see everyone obey and respect the law," Watson told reporters Wednesday. "If marijuana is going to be legalized, as the prime minister has indicated, then that's fine, we'll live with those rules and regulations and these shops can then open legally, but we don't know the timeframe of that and while they're breaking the law, I think the law should be enforced."

WATERLOO REGION - New legislation will mean harsher penalties, including licence suspensions, for motorists who drive while impaired by drugs. The new provincial rules, which take effect on Sunday, will allow police to suspend the licence of drivers impaired by drugs just like they do for drunk drivers who are charged with impaired driving. The increased penalties include a $180 fine, a licence suspension of three days for the first occurrence and seven days for the second occurrence. A third offence leads to a 30-day suspension after failing a roadside test. [continues 297 words]

The Cannabis Culture store in downtown Peterborough plans to reopen for business on Tuesday at 10 a.m. after closing following a city police raid earlier this month. Marijuana advocate and Cannabis Culture stores chain founder Marc Emery said Monday afternoon that the store at 382 George St. N. will reopen Tuesday at 10 a.m. and resume its operating hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The store first opened Sept. 9, openly serving clients 19 and older with marijuana for medicinal and recreational use.

As the federal government is planning to introduce legislation next year to begin the process of legalizing and regulating marijuana in Canada, there is an unprecedented urgency to end a new driving behaviour before it is too late. We have to get this right. It's essential all public safety officials and elected representatives make sure the same knowledge that exists around seatbelts and car seats saving lives exists around driving sober from alcohol and drugs. We must first commit to doubling-down our efforts, as policymakers, to spread the word that driving high is just as dangerous - and as stupid, as irresponsible, and as reckless - as driving drunk.

On Monday, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said he wants The Suya Spot, a restaurant on Shillington Avenue where 26-year-old Abdi Jama was shot to death on Sunday, shut down. It's understandable why he'd urge this: in the three years it has been open, police have received more than 100 calls to the eatery about everything from illegal liquor sales to public drunkenness to incidents involving guns, yet it hasn't been shut down. The chief himself doesn't have the power to close a legal business; he wants those officials who do have it to act. [continues 393 words]
'Dispensaries are becoming more and more prevalent,' Fleury says Some city councillors have asked Ottawa police to explain what the force plans to do about the illegal pot shops operating across the city. The chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board, Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, tabled an inquiry at Monday 's meeting, saying some councillors and residents are concerned about the marijuana dispensaries popping up around town. About 15 shops have opened, most since June. Coun. Mathieu Fleury says he and several other councillors want them closed. [continues 576 words]
Port Colborne will ask Health Canada to revoke licences to grow medical marijuana at a greenhouse on Pinecrest Road, in the wake of last week's armed robbery there when two people were held at gunpoint. Niagara Regional Police reported last week that while searching the property, officers found 3,400 plants growing in the greenhouse. That's about 3,000 plants - worth $1.5 million - more than the facility was permitted to produce through the three licences it was operating under. [continues 837 words]
All of the pot dispensaries are breaking the law. Close them down. The Liberal government has said that they want to control distribution. What are they going to do about established businesses when they finally decide to come up with their plan? These pot shops are not getting their cannabis from government-approved growers. Some may be fronts for organized crime. Go in and audit their books. There should be a proper record of sales and purchases. If they cannot show a receipt for purchase of all their products (marijuana, cookies, candy and such), then they are obviously breaking the law by buying from an illegal source. If they are cooking their own brownies, then Health Canada should be looking into their business. [continues 86 words]
Cannabis Culture reopens after raid, while Trent University business student prepares to open another marijuana store Peterborough's marijuana store, Cannabis Culture, reopened Tuesday morning, with city police announcing that the opening has their attention. The shop was closed Sept. 15, days after it opened, when city police raided it and removed its products. Two people, store owner Richard Standen and employee Maranda Gallant, were arrested. Standen, 62, of Wecker Drive in Oshawa, was charged with trafficking marijuana, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. [continues 433 words]
City police brass want more training, and equipment, for officers to deal with potentially hazardous narcotics. Fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamines are increasing in popularity among drug users, said Deputy Chief Sean Sparling during a Sault Ste. Marie Police Services Board meeting Tuesday at Civic Centre. They're all "very potent," especially powdered fentanyl. "It's also dangerous for the officers to handle," Sparling told The Sault Star following the meeting's open session. "We have to be very mindful of how we're seizing the stuff." [continues 501 words]
Pretty soon, marijuana will officially be wonderful. God help us. There was a revealing story in Friday's Citizen by reporter Jacquie Miller about a marijuana dispensary in Orleans that opened in a building that also houses a couple of services that cater mostly to children.

"We are terrified," said another, threatening to pull her three children from the tutoring centre. [continues 694 words]
Debate's all about the mockery at marijuana lounge What's the best way to watch the U.S. Presidential debate on Monday? At downtown Windsor's medical marijuana lounge Higher Limits, there's a simple answer: high as hell. Like many venues across North America, the lounge will be showing the live televised debate on its biggest screen. But unlike anywhere else, Higher Limits will hold a toking game in conjunction with the proceedings. Attendees will take hits from the lounge's various bongs, vaporizers, and rigs depending on what happens during the 90-minute debate. [continues 178 words]
Each day 700 people line up to get into the Insite supervised safer injection facility in Vancouver. They come to inject pre-obtained heroin and cocaine in a clean environment, with clean needles, under the watchful eye of nurses, addiction doctors, counsellors and peer volunteers. Between 60 and 100 clients overdose at Insite each month. Yet not one of the three million intravenous drug users (IDU) who have been to Insite has died since the harm-reduction clinic opened in 2003. Does Insite save lives? Yes. Would a similar site in Hamilton save lives? Likely. This answers just one of many questions our community has as our public health officials, city councillors, addiction community members and neighbourhood associations wrestle with the proposal of a supervised injection site for Hamilton. But it is the biggest question. [continues 618 words]
Early one morning, while leaving my downtown Toronto home, I heard the quiet crying of a young woman lying in the alleyway. I saw a tourniquet and needle on the ground, her valuables scattered in disarray. I stopped and offered to take her to a centre where she could get help. Tragically, this is an all-too-common occurrence across the country. Scenarios like this will only increase if we restrict opioid prescribing for chronic pain. We have an opioid abuse problem in Canada, but we must be careful about how we address it. [continues 701 words]
Provincial police say a Leamington raid and the arrest this week of a now-former Crime Stoppers president also yielded a marijuana seizure worth more than $3 million. Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers called an emergency meeting and immediately ousted Jon-Paul Fuller after learning of his arrest. He also used to work for Aphria, a licensed medical marijuana producer in Leamington, but he was let go from that company more than two years ago. Fuller, 44, is charged with production of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. [continues 328 words]
Kingston woman whose daughter was stuck by needle at city park wants it to be a lesson for all A Kingston business owner, blogger and mother is warning parents to talk to their children about discarded needles after her daughter stuck herself with one earlier this month. "I've anticipated what happens if they fall from a tree and their arm hurts, or if they stepped in glass, I've run through that process in my mind of what I would do I've thought through all the scenarios in my head, but this is one that never occurred to me," Natalie George, mother of four, told the Whig-Standard on Friday morning.

Since last spring, Toronto police have raided about 50 of the city's marijuana dispensaries and charged dozens of people with drug trafficking. It hasn't come close to stamping out the illegal pot shops, though - dozens still operate across the city. That cautionary tale is not far from the minds of Ottawa police as they ponder what to do about the 15 pot shops that have opened here. Several Ottawa city councillors have said the dispensaries are breaking the law and should be closed. Parents in Orleans are furious after a dispensary opened in a building on St. Joseph Boulevard that also houses a martial arts studio and a tutoring centre for children. [continues 621 words]
The Ontario attorney general and Ottawa Centre MPP wants a central Civic site, an end to marijuana law's 'grey zone' and bail reform to cut jail crowding, Andrew Seymour writes after Yasir Naqvi met with the Citizen editorial board. As public consultation on a new site for the Ottawa Hospital's Civic campus officially began Thursday, Yasir Naqvi said his preference is that the hospital remains centrally located. That means proposed locations along West Hunt Club Road aren't the best choices from a dozen available federal sites, according to Naqvi. [continues 874 words]
The former president of Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers is facing charges in connection with a large-scale illegal marijuana grow operation. Jon-Paul Fuller, 44, of Lakeshore, is one of two people who OPP charged after officers raided a property in Leamington on Wednesday morning. Shortly after the charges were made public Thursday, the local Crime Stoppers' board ousted Fuller. He had been involved with the organization since 2013 as a board member, was named treasurer in 2015 and became president this June. [continues 499 words]
A bright yellow bin, about the size of a mailbox but taller, is now positioned on the edge of the Junction Creek trail near Hnatyshyn Park. The sunny hue, however, belies the gravity of its contents and the issue it's mean to address. The receptacle also boasts a biohazard symbol, and is there to contain used drug needles that might otherwise be left on the ground and cause a prick wound and possible infection. It appeared within the last week, and in the wake of concerns raised in late July about the dangers of discarded syringes. [continues 466 words]
Hamilton police have raided another medical marijuana dispensary and seized about $75,000 worth of merchandise. Officers from the vice and drug unit executed a search warrant on MMJ-Canada's Urban Dispensary at 118 George St., in Hess Village, on Tuesday. The raid yielded marijuana and cannabis resin, shatter (cannabis extract), THC-infused syrup, soft drinks and edibles. A 35-year-old Hamilton man, whom police "believe" was the operator of the business, is charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of cannabis resin for the purpose of trafficking.
