HALIFAX — In a court hearing lasting just over one minute, the Crown withdrew all charges against a Halifax marijuana advocate stemming from a series of police raids at his medical cannabis shop. Enns’ business, Farm Assist Cannabis Resource Centre, had been raided as part of ongoing trafficking investigations in 2013, 2014 and 2015. In an interview following the hearing, Hartlen said the regulations around medical marijuana access had changed since the charges were filed. Outside court, Enns expressed relief that the court process had officially drawn to a close. He said the withdrawal of the charges amounted to validation for medical cannabis users and for providers.
