Please help us to stay open.

Due to the Jan 29 raid against The Medicinal Cannabis Dispensary, and the November 2024 raid against The Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary, we are having a financial crisis.

These raids are very expensive as the police simply come in and empty the store. No charges are laid but there is a substantial financial cost to these kind of seizures.

Get Your Drugs Tested was founded by Dana Larsen in 2019, and is almost entirely funded by these two dispensary operations, plus some public donations. We receive zero funding from any level of government.

REDUCED SERVICE HOURS

  • Our East Hastings location is open Wednesday to Monday from 12 PM and 8 PM.
  • Our West Broadway location is open Tuesday to Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM.

We need community support!

It is vital that hundreds of people make some phone calls and send some emails in support of our services!

If these dispensary raids continue, Get Your Drugs Tested could be forced to permanently close.

We need politicians to know that a strong community supports Dana Larsen’s dispensaries and the Get Your Drugs Tested service.

  • Make a few phone calls!

Please call Mayor Ken Sim at 604-873-7621, and our local Vancouver-Strathcona MLA Joan Phillip at  (604) 660-0707, and leave a brief message saying that you support Get Your Drugs Tested and want the raids against Dana Larsen’s dispensaries to stop.

  • Send a message to Vancouver City Council!
