This came to the attention of the ASC staff several months ago, the user in question back then had their age verification removed at that time.

We just received this via PM's recently. Said user is now pending court on several charges.

So keep this in mind when the members here tell you to wait, get age verified and visit the retaillers already established in Canada and who are doing it legally.
