LOTTERIES INSIDE A FTER a week of turmoil, including two police visits to his shop and a " smoke- in" outside Winnipeg police headquarters, the owner of Manitoba's only medical cannabis dispensary has vowed to reopen today. Glenn Price was first visited by police last Tuesday at his store, Your Medical Cannabis Headquarters ( 1404 Main St.). He said he was told to stop selling medical marijuana just two weeks after starting, and although he halted sales for a few days, he promised to start up again. " I'm not going to go nowhere," Price said Monday. " I'm going to put my neck out on the line for the people of Winnipeg that need medical cannabis." When Price's store opens at 11 a. m. today, supporters said they will form a human wall to prevent police from entering the premises. On Monday, many met at police headquarters for a peaceful protest, lighting up outside the Public Safety Building hoping to start a conversation. " We're not here to disrupt anything," Price said at the protest. " We just want to be heard." While he said he sells exclusively to prescriptionholding adults who go through an assessment process with the shop, Price does not have a licence from Health Canada to sell cannabis, meaning his operation is illegal. Since he started selling on July 1, Price said he has gained more than 200 customers. Without his dispensary, medical cannabis users in Manitoba can only access the product via Health Canada- approved mailorder, which Price said can leave patients waiting for up to three months. Price said he intends to conduct business as usual. " All I know is I'm going to be there helping people who need help," he said. At a news conference Monday, Winnipeg police spokesman Const. Jason Micalyshen said he can't comment on individual cases, but police will shut down those who try to sell cannabis without a proper licence. " This is all about the health and safety of the public and making sure marijuana that is being sold is controlled," Micalyshen said. Asked if police would be open to meeting with Price, Micalyshen said " I don't think anything's out of the realm of possibilities." Steven Stairs, a Winnipeg medical cannabis user involved with the Green party, organized Monday's protest and today's human wall event. He said his goal was to bring awareness for Price's cause to police as well as the public. " History has shown that sometimes unjust laws need to be broken in a public way to make the point for the social change," said Stairs. " The discussion about what society needs to do regarding marijuana and medical marijuana needs to be had now." aidan. geary@ freepress. mb. ca Marijuana dispensary challenges law Any unlicensed seller will be shut down, police say By Aidan Geary PHOTOS BY MELISSA TAIT / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS TOP: Glenn Price smokes Monday outside the Public Safety Building to draw attention to efforts to shut down his medical cannabis dispensary in Winnipeg.

OTTAWA - A personal ad featuring convicted killer Luka Rocco Magnotta has been removed at his request from a matchmaking website for lonely prisoners - after the site's creator said she received a letter saying he found what he " was looking for." Magnotta, whose disturbing crimes seized the attention of people around the world, made more headlines recently after he joined Canadian Inmates Connect - an online platform that helps convicts find companionship outside the penitentiary walls. The former stripper wrote on his profile how he was looking for a single white male, someone " loyal, preferably educated, financially and emotionally stable for a longterm committed relationship." " If you think you could be my prince charming, send me a detailed letter with at least two photos," read the message, which website founder Melissa Fazzina says was written by Magnotta himself. He was convicted in December of first- degree murder, along with other crimes, for the 2012 Montreal killing and dismemberment of university student Jun Lin. Fazzina, who declined to release the letter because Magnotta had labelled it " confidential," said the note offered no additional details. - The Canadian Press Magnotta finds a match?
