Ten people are facing drug charges after Halifax police searched two marijuana dispensaries in the city on Friday morning. Police say they obtained warrants to search Chronic Releaf Medical Dispensary on Quinpool Road and Canna Clinic on Dresden Row. Four women and six men, all from the Halifax area, have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. The searches and charges come just five days before marijuana becomes legal in this country. Jim Perrin has suggested the crackdown on stores that sell marijuana illegally will continue after pot becomes legal on Oct. 17.
