Former Ontario Provincial Police commissioner Julian Fantino and former RCMP deputy commissioner Raf Souccar are leaving Aleafia, the cannabis company they founded — via TheGrowthOp

Former Ontario Provincial Police commissioner Julian Fantino and former RCMP deputy commissioner Raf Souccar are leaving Aleafia, the cannabis company they founded. In an April 27 press release, Fantino, the current chairman of the board, and Souccar, a director, announced their intention to resign as of May 15, 2020.

While the reasoning behind the departures has not been given, the company — alongside its recreational cannabis retail partners — was plagued by bad public relations with regard to its founders. Fantino, who once compared cannabis legalization to murder, and Souccar were infamously referred to as two of Canada’s “biggest weed hypocrites” in a list published by VICE.

“Our job is to provide legal cannabis and good service and we’re going to keep trying to do that,” Krulicki said. “But it’s going to reduce friction in the community and we’re really happy about that.” When challenged to explain why he founded a medical cannabis company in 2017, he told CBC, “You have to separate out the whole issue of legalization from what I’m involved in right now. I’m involved in the medical aspect that helps people greatly through the dispensing of medically prescribed marijuana cannabis.”
