## Resource

A Christchurch man with a legitimate medicinal cannabis license got busted for personal use — a clear violation of the system meant to help those in genuine medical need. Police raided his home, seized product and equipment, and he now faces charges for supply and possession. Authorities are cracking down hard in Canterbury, working with the Medicinal Cannabis Agency to ensure the system stays intact. More charges or arrests are possible as investigations continue. His court date is July 24, 2026 — a stark warning that even with a license, the rules aren’t optional. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
