Victoria’s Compassion Club Stands Trial | Canada News

Victoria’s last compassion club just dodged eviction with a six-month court pause, as the province tries to seize its property over alleged ties to criminal activity. The club, operating for 30 years without prescriptions—just proof of medical need—offers affordable, high-dose cannabis for seriously ill patients. Facing a provincial raid they say targets recreational sales, not medical access, the club’s lawyer argues the province misreads the Cannabis Act. Customers even testified in court, showing how vital this clinic is. The landlord’s caught in the crossfire, while city council backs the club, calling the raid baffling given cannabis’s legal status—and urging the province to wait until the judicial review plays out this fall.
