Hemp Nation Busted

Two hemp stores in London, Ontario, have been raided by police and had their stock seized.

Although we don't have all the details, we know that both Hemp Nation and Hi Times were raided by either Ontario police or the RCMP earlier today.

Hemp Nation had seeds, bongs, pipes, 3 computers and some files confiscated. One employee was arrested.

We don't know details on Hi Times, but apparently they had seeds and pipes seized as well.

If you ordered seeds from either store recently there might be cause for concern, as some recent records are in the hands of the cops.

We'll post more info as we get it.

Hemp Nation was previously raided on May 17, 1995 for selling cannabis plant clones, and Chris Clay launched a constitutional challenge against the charges, which is still in progress.

Contact Chris Clay of Hemp Nation at (519) 433-5267, or email chris.clay@hempnation.com.

Contact Hi Times at (519) 858-1533.
