City of Victoria cracks down on Herald Street marijuana dispensary

Share

For the first time in Victoria, a pot dispensary is under scrutiny for failing to comply with bylaws.

According to a CTV news report, the Green Dragon Medicinal Society was slapped with 12 tickets for failure to comply with the City of Victoria’s marijuana zoning bylaws.

After being hit with the injunction, the Green Dragon retaliated by filing a judicial review of council’s decision not to give it the neccessary zoning.

Earlier this month, over 48,000 British Columbians filled out a feedback form offering their views on minimum age, personal possession limits, public consumption, drug-impaired driving, personal cultivation, and distribution models of marijuana.

In the coming weeks, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General will review, analyze, and create a summary report based on the input received. That information will then be released to the public.
