TORONTO

The cops’ controversial crackdown on cannabis shows no signs of letting up as yet another pot dispensary was raided this week — this time in Forest Hill.

Toronto Police say officers executed a search warrant at the Canna Clinic on Eglinton Ave. W., east of Spadina Rd., around 2 p.m. on Tuesday and busted six people.

The ongoing crackdown on the many unregulated medical marijuana shops across the city began in May with Project Claudia, which saw 43 stores raided and 90 people arrested for drug trafficking and other offences.

“We were quite clear during the lead-up to Project Claudia, we sent letters telling property owners to cease these operations,” police spokesman Mark Pugash said Wednesday, adding Chief Mark Saunders also publicly warned other pot dispensary operators that the crackdown would continue.

“I think people thought we weren’t serious,” he said.

It’s believed there are more than 80 such dispensaries in Toronto, with operators all positioning themselves to get a share of the lucrative marijuana market once Prime Minister Justin Trudeau follows through on his long-awaited promise to legalize cannabis.

But Pugash said until the feds make those changes, dispensary owners who flout the law should expect to face charges.

Raids have continued sporadically since Project Claudia.

All tolled, Pugash said police have executed search warrants at more than 60 dispensaries and made more than 135 arrests.

Some stores have reopened since being raided.

Canna Clinic, the latest business raided, has seven shops across the city and its website lists daily deals such as “2 Toonie Tuesday,” which offers clients “$4 pre-rolled joints.”

Canna Clinic’s store at 739 Dundas St. W. was raided during Project Claudia in May and now its store at 527 Eglinton Ave. W. has been hit by police.
