One of Canada’s biggest cities is positioned to pass a series of unprecedented regulations for its medical cannabis shops. Amongst the action from the federal government which has made itself an opposing threat of marijuana for any reason.
A set of regulations suggested by Gregor Robertson, Mayor of Vancouver, will make his area the first in Canada to give a clear understanding of the legal gray zone where medical cannabis dispensaries currently conduct business.
The new rules and regulations will limit ownership of these shops to people with no criminal rap sheet, prohibit the sale of edibles, and allow a specific amount where these dispensaries can open, and attach $35,000 in an annual payment onto the owners.
Vancouver’s city council casted their vote on these actions this past Tuesday, which will potentially be approved. It comes amid an ongoing issue by cannabis producers to obtain a grasp on the profitable Canadian market. Yet, the federal government is firm in maintaining a cap on the burgeoning marijuana business, restricting access and charging crushing fees for marijuana growers.
Although the new Vancouver rules are passed off as a “crackdown” promising to shutter as many as quarter of the dispensaries that are currently doing business in Vancouver, the federal government however is still not happy about it.
