Toronto police executed search warrants Thursday at a handful of storefront marijuana dispensaries where they believe pot is being sold illegally. Allen echoed Toronto Mayor John Tory's sentiment that "medical marijuana dispensaries are verging on being out of control," and expected the raids to happen. Zoning bylaws permit only the distribution of medical marijuana from a production facility that has been licensed by Health Canada as a licensed producer. A marijuana dispensary on the Danforth is closed after police raid pot shops in the city. Earlier this month, the city's municipal licensing and standards department issued notices to 78 property owners out of a known 83 medical marijuana dispensaries.
