Halifax Regional Police raided an illegal cannabis dispensary in Halifax on Wednesday morning.

Police say members of their drug unit had a warrant to search the Canna Clinic at 1593 Dresden Row in Halifax.

“Investigators seized over $7,000, in excess of 400 grams of cannabis and over 500 cannabis infused products,” Halifax police said in a news release.

Police say they have charged a 21-year-old Dartmouth woman with possession for the purpose of distributing and possessing cannabis for the purpose of selling – both violations under the Cannabis Act.

She is scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court at a later date.
