Halifax police look into chain’s contest promising ‘free weed for a year’
Halifax police say they’re looking into a contest by a chain of East Coast smoke shops that promises four winners “free weed for a year.”
Mary Janes, which has a store in St. John’s, N.L., and three stores in Nova Scotia, is promoting the contest on social media and say the draw will be made the day marijuana becomes legal in Canada.
Customers must make a purchase to get a ballot.
Employees at one of the chain’s two Halifax-area outlets say there has been lots of interest, but didn’t have details on the amount to be won, or the legality of it.
