Cannabis products were seized from an unnamed dispensary in Saint John, New Brunswick, on July 24.
Items seized under the province’s Cannabis Control Act included:
- 875 grams of cannabis bud
- 480 grams of hashish
- 100 packs of cannabis edibles
- 200 cannabis cigarettes
- 20 packages of cannabis shatter
- 50 cannabis vape pens
No charges were laid when the inspection was made.
A press release says this inspection was the first time the New Brunswick Department of Justice and Public Safety used its new authority under the Cannabis Control Act.
New Brunswick recently passed legislation to give its peace officers more powers to enforce provincial cannabis rules. This includes the ability of provincial inspectors to enter any place or vehicle to which the act applies and seize any cannabis, document or item an inspector believes may be evidence.
A representative with the province previously said that more than 100 illegal cannabis stores are operating in New Brunswick as of April 1.
In July, a man in New Brunswick received a a $3,250 fine for selling cannabis without a licence after entering a guilty plea.
