Summary
BudRunQC was an illegal cannabis sales website targeted by the Sûreté du Québec in November 2019, according to La Presse. The newspaper reported on November 20, 2019 that the provincial police had carried out about fifteen searches the day before, involving nearly 50 officers, to shut down the site. Buyers paid by Interac and received parcels through Canada Post within 24 to 48 hours; police estimated at least fifty orders were shipped each day. La Presse said the site sold dried cannabis, highly concentrated THC extracts, cannabis candies that looked identical to convenience-store sweets, and THC vape refills, and promoted itself with a #BudRunQC hashtag on Facebook and Instagram. A police spokesperson reminded the public that in Quebec only the SQDC may sell cannabis online and that every other site is illegal. No arrests had been made at the time of the report; postal inspectors and Quebec's health ministry contributed to the investigation.
