Highlights from Glenn Price Fundraiser

The Winnipeg cannabis community came together to support Glenn Price at aĀ legal fundraiser for the dispensary owner, Oct. 9.

Price has been battling the courts after his dispensary Your Medical Cannabis Headquarters was raided in August.

While Price is still offering advice, the dispensaryĀ remains closed, leaving more than 700 patients without a secure source of medicinal cannabis.

The fundraiser featuredĀ three bands performing at Winnipeg’s historic Windsor Hotel andĀ T-shirts for sale, with all proceeds going toward Price’s court battle.

In attendance at the fundraiser was The Human Solution International, a grassroots civil rights organization that hasĀ assisted patientsĀ in need of cannabis for their illness or disability. The group distributedĀ green ribbons with aĀ red cross toĀ symbolize solidarity with those fighting for medical cannabis.

Also in attendance was Green Party Candidate Steven Stairs with his wife Kristen Aldrich, Mike Mailman from Mailman Pharms and others, who showed theirĀ supportĀ forĀ medical cannabis.

Glenn Price’s next court hearing is set to take place Oct. 15 at 1pm.Ā Supporters have organized to attend the hearingĀ and urge the community to be there, as well.
