Sask. Compassion Club owner gets bail after police raid Saskatoon medical marijuana dispensary
After spending 24 hours in a jail cell unable to sleep, the owner of the Saskatchewan Compassion Club who was arrested on drug charges says he doesn’t regret operating an unlicensed medical marijuana dispensary.
Mark Hauk, 36, was charged with trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking marijuana after police raided his 2nd Avenue North business on Thursday.
He said he had reached out to both the city and police, and that police Chief Clive Weighill postponed two meetings they had recently set up.
“So for them to roll in there, 10 officers strong, without so much of a warning, so much as a phone call, so much as an email, is nothing short of gutless,” Hauk said, outside Saskatoon Provincial Court, after he was released on $1,000 cash bail Friday morning.
