Canadaâs cannabis-fairy is campaigning again and heâs making a stop in Âé¶čAV.
Pro-marijuana activist Dana Larsen is on his second tour called Overgrow Canada, despite the setbacks of last yearâs tour which involved his .
Larsen will be giving a speech Thursday, April 6, 8 p.m., at the East Âé¶čAV Hall.
West Âé¶čAV is his second-to-last stop on his OverGrow Canada campaign which aims to have citizens planting plants in public locations in order to show âcivil disobedience.â
Larsen is still facing charges and is currently out on bail, but he is expected to attend court hearings on April 9 and 10.
âIf anything I think it makes it more important to keep doing this and to draw attention to this issue,â he said.
âThe idea that theyâre going to charge me on cannabis seeds is ludicrous on many levels,â adding stores across Canada carry the seeds.
He is worried about breaking bail, but he doubts heâll be spending time in jail. Calgary will be his last stop on the tour just in case something goes awry.

The seeds Larsen will be handing out will not grow plants with high levels of THC, the ingredient associated with feelings of euphoria, hallucinations and anxiety.
Last year, his stop in Âé¶čAV had a packed house, with people waiting outside for two hours to get seeds.
âWe are aware of the event and wonât speculate on any police actions that may or may not be taken,â said Âé¶čAV RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse OâDonaghey.
