…Vancouver drug activist targeted
The B.C. government says more than $100,000 seized in police raids of Vancouver mushroom dispensaries should be forfeited as the proceeds of crime.
…activist Dana Larsen, who is named as a defendant in the civil forfeiture lawsuit, said he will fight to get the cash returned… Larsen said his lawyer suggested they have a good chance of getting some of the cash back… Larsen said businesses connected to him always seem to get targeted by police because he is a high-profile legalization activist, “There’s a lot of other mushroom dispensaries in Vancouver, and although a lot of them, like us, have challenges with the city when it comes to business licences and fines and threats of closure … we’re the only one to have been raided like this twice.”
