It's strange how the dispensaries act like they can just do what ever they want.
This is not an access to cannabis issue. More dispensaries than Tim Hortons and some blatantly selling for profit pseudo recreational is clearly a violation of the MMAR regulations.
Give them an inch, they take a yard. Give them a yard, they take a mile.
They're are rules in this society, and unless they are violating your charter of rights and freedoms, they will be enforced.
BC will have 11 dispensaries where the law so far is prescribed to allow NONE! Count that a small victory. But what will they say now, 11 is not enough, we need 111, on every blasted corner of Vancouver ?
You don't even have to leave your house to order from an LP! If you live in Tim Buck F'n Too, if such a place were in Canada, or Nunavut even, you can have Cannabis delivered to your door step through CanAda post Crown Corporation. That's called accessibility.
And oh, you want to smell it before you buy? Canopy lets you order very small quantities... And it's medicine. Do you taste your oxy first ? Do you reject buckleys cause it tastes bad? Does Tylenol strawberry flavour have to taste like real strawberrys?
I get that Cannabis Culture is different. Of course. But LP product is tried tested and true. Subject to recall at the drop of a bud. Drop in inspections from health inspectors. Any complaints about pharma standard production is ...
It's best if those complaining turned their complaints into a constructive conversation on how to improve on the current system, because that is good. But trying to convince lawmakers you lack access when you had more access to Cannabis than fast food service Coffee and a donuts? More illegal cannabis shops than Tim Hortons ! For American investors, that's like more pot shops( illegal ones) than Duncan Donuts or Krispy Kreme! Who are they kidding!?
canopy is working with regulators to improve the system. Not like some playing Cannabis Jenga, seeing just how much they can get away with before the whole thing implodes. Well BC municipalities are drawing lines they don't want to be crossed now. Let's see how well that works for ya.
