Jesse Lavoie is the founder of TobaGrown, an advocacy organization that took the province to court over its ban. Manitoba’s Court of King’s Bench upheld the ban, but the organization is appealing the decision.
“The federal government allowed all Canadians the right to grow four plants we would like to see our province be in line with that and not criminalize something that is legal,” said Lavoie.
