ArcticCrusher Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I wonder what is gonna happen to those selling pot after its legal? Quote “I am very comfortable with the direction in which the Ontario government is going,” he said, signalling to the dozens of remaining marijuana dispensaries that they will soon be out of business. “These shops, to the best of my knowledge, are illegal, have always been illegal, will continue to be illegal, and are not contemplated as being part of the regime going forward,” he said. “It isn’t kind of a Wild West environment, where people can just go out and set up any kind of a shop they want. I don’t think anybody really supports that, except, perhaps, the people that are operating the shops.” https://www.ourwindsor.ca/news-story/7769135-new-provincial-marijuana-corporation-will-control-weed-sales-and-close-illegal-dispensaries-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't make beer or booze, but do control the sales they don't make medicines they don't make cigarettes You should be able to buy pot from company X just like you might like Molson products Between the Liberals wanting to full out grow and control, the conservatives Brown still not sure if it should be legal at all. This should make buying pot the same way as the last 100 years cheeper. What a bunch of fuck wads - the very idea of thinking you can in one swoop open up some stores and supply Ontario I think they are under-estimating the amount of Pot sold weekly in Ontario. There is no fucking way 40 stores will be able to keep up with Vaughan never mind Ontario I haven't heard much from other provinces other than New Brunswick who signed a retarded over price deal with some supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although many here believe corner stores should be able to sell booze and beer, seems right they can sell pot too....... I would rather see it in sold in knowledgeable stores, nothing but pot, hash, oils, and pipes. by the way Cigarettes should be illegal and put out of business.

1trailmaker Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Alberta has unveiled its proposed framework for marijuana legalization, which calls for a minimum age of 18 to buy or use cannabis. Other proposed rules include: Public possession limit of 30 grams (with no limit on possession in private residences). Sales will be in specialty stores, separate from alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals. Limit of 30 grams per purchase. Smoking and vaping in public will fall under existing tobacco laws. No smoking or vaping in vehicles, including passengers. Four plants can be grown per household, to a maximum height of one metre each. Outdoor growing will be banned. The province has yet to decide whether stores selling marijuana will be publicly or privately run, but the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will serve as the central wholesaler for all products, ensuring "a level playing field" for large and small producers.

1trailmaker Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Manitoba CBC News has learned that the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Manitoba has taken a major stake in a medical marijuana company, with an eye to becoming a big player in the sale of pot once it becomes legal. The First Nation, located approximately 530 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, has purchased $3 million worth — approximately 10 per cent — of shares in National Access Cannabis. The privately held company will be traded publicly for the first time Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange. Justice Minister Heather Stefanson said the government is willing to consider private sales for cannabis and go beyond stores run by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. “No options are off the table right now. We are opening this up to get more ideas about how to do this,” Stefanson said. “We welcome (Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries) to give their expression of interest as well as all Manitobans with respect to the distribution.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association is urging the provincial government to reveal its plans for regulating marijuana, saying municipalities can't prepare for the change until they know the provincial approach. SUMA issued a news release Tuesday calling on the province to start consulting and provide a legislative framework. I wonder is Slugly is going to cash in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band has not gotten a "handout" to implement this venture. It would appear that they are self sufficient economically, in fact they are partnering up with other FN to purchase the port of Churchill.

It should be for good reason - knowledge is going to be key Government is worried about who grows it, leaving it to the private sector means the crime boys are still playing the game. (They will be no matter what) We need all the current grow ops to be licensed, let them compete for sales as cost will be regulated to a point. Either way they will still grow and sell only difference will be lower profits. I think this is a huge move for Canada, its not possible to get it right the first time out of the gate. Too many people (like on here) that still think its a bad bad bad bad very bad drug leading to the gateway to hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
