Media Invitation - Marc-Boris St-Maurice, from Montreal's medical marijuana
dispensary, the compassion center, hosts a press conference to shed light on
the current state of affairs

MONTREAL, June 21 /CNW Telbec/ - On June 3rd, the SPVM in collaboration with the Quebec City police shut down 5 locations that were distributing cannabis in the province.

On the eve of his first court appearance, Marc-Boris St-Maurice, activist for the past 20 years, founder of both Montréal and Quebec's first dispensaries, and accused in this case, invites the media to a press conference to clarify the rather confused state of medical marijuana in Canada.

Some of the topics that will be addressed include:

    
    - The direct and indirect perverted effects of shutting down all
      locations in the province overnight.

    - The confusion over the current state of the laws on medical marijuana
      access in Canada

    - The existence or not a the so-called "federation of compassion clubs of
      Quebec"

    - Any other questions the media or the public might have
