Illegal dispensary in Kingston shut down... again

Same one was raided just over a week ago

Kingston Police Special Services executed a second search warrant on an illegal cannabis dispensary at 185 Division Street on November 19, 2024.

The unlicensed operation had reopened just days after police conducted an earlier raid on November 13. Officers seized over $195,000 worth of cannabis products, including loose marijuana, pre-rolled joints, hash, and edible gummies and chocolates. Unstamped tobacco products, advertising materials, and cash were also confiscated.

A 23-year-old Kingston woman faces charges under the Cannabis Control Act and one count related to unstamped tobacco under the Criminal Code of Canada. She was released on an undertaking.

Kingston Police remind the public that cannabis businesses must follow Ontario regulations. Illegal operations threaten licensed businesses, public health, and safety.

Anyone with information about illegal cannabis or tobacco sales is encouraged to contact Detective Sergeant Shawn Birney at 613-549-4660 ext. 6323.
