...I think it should be a requirement to limit dispensaries to just streets that have dedicated bike lanes in front of their shops...

How about all dispensaries be located in a "mall-like" setting in the underutilized retail spaces in Centennial Square? The city can get the rental income and the vendors can compete for the illegal business and drive down prices. A total win-win!

The Canna-Mall has not reduced the number of illegal dispensaries. I want all of them moved to Centennial Square and no where else.

When you have a restaurant like Matisse closing so they can open a dispensary in that location, that's just the beginning of many tips of the iceberg.

 

It appears unlikely to be approved. I know several businesses who had to shut down do too extravagant rent prices, pot shop did not open up in their place.

 

 

City councillors decided Thursday to forward an application for Trees, at 546 Yates St., to public hearing, while deferring consideration of a second application from Pure Releaf, for its proposed dispensary at 510-512 Yates St. — less than half a block from the Trees outlet.

 

Approval of both outlets would be in violation of the city’s cannabis dispensary rezoning policy, which mandates that storefront cannabis retailers must be at least 200 metres from each other.

 

By processing the Trees application first, the city is essentially following a “first in the door” process. The Trees application was received on Oct. 20 and that of Pure Releaf on Dec. 7.

Sounds like an interesting proposal.

Maybe the pimps and prostitutes should only be allowed to work the sidewalks outside of dispensaries.

 

 

 

 

According to HB not many prostitutes in victoria or at least not any good ones, was much more back in the day, somebody went on to post if I recall correctly "they're all online". To my knowledge nobody has ever got an STD from marijuana?

Seriously? Stoners make such great decisions. I am sure no one has ever had sex with a dubious partner while high. It's this kind of thinking that guides our local government.

I think waaaaay more bad decisions are due to alcohol.... 

[VicHockeyFan]

So today's TC says there have been 12 tickets issued to dispensaries not in compliance.  $7000+ in fines.

[Mike K.]

Tickets issued, but how many paid?

That may be so, but Todd was suggesting that STDs were unheard of where pot was involved.

Potential fines. They are the CoV equivalent of lottery tickets - most won't produce any money.

Sounds like a familiar approach...

...275 in 1900 prostitutes that's a lot given the population of Victoria at the time...

 

 

I'm sure the inevitable over abundant STDs/Smallpox put an end to this.

In my post-count defence.  In my paying job, I have to scan the news headlines and grab stories.  So many of those come here to.  My posts are not always replies and opinion pieces.
