Green Dragon on Herald has applied for re-zoning.  Applicant is Robert Bradbury.  I wonder if he is related to the sisters that own Fort Properties (Blanshard/Broughton/Fort).

Isn't it the property owner that has to apply for the re-zoning?

No, all the ones I've examined it's the operator.  Perhaps with the blessing of the owner, of course.

As long as getting a license doesn't interrupt the unreported, cash-only rent being paid to the property owner.

I know in strata situations the operator needs signatures from every owner to go through with their application.

That appears to be the problem down at CSV.  They only have 6 of 8 signatures.  There is nothing to stop these last 2 from holding out for a cash payment, that would make the most sense.  6 might have given it away for free.

Not from licensed producers. The amounts being sold can only be supplied by illegal sources. A recent report in a Vancouver newspaper conservatively claimed that Vancouver’s illegal dispensaries sell more marijuana in one month than all the licensed producers in Canada sell in three months.

I think that the problem for local pot shops is that the CoV won't be the deciding which laws are enforced. No way the feds are going to give up their tax revenue.

Normally I would hold out for a stake in the company but since I don't think that any of the local pot shops will be operating in 18 months then $10K is a nice round number!

What Vancouver newspaper? They can't say what newspaper?

 

February 23, 2017

Number of medical marijuana users soars across Canada, now almost 130K

 

......The number of Canadians registered to purchase medical marijuana from licensed producers has exploded since the federal commercial-access program was introduced almost four years ago. ............

 

......That’s a 32 per cent jump from the more than 98,000 registered at the end of September 2016 and up from the 7,900 granted access to medicinal cannabis in mid-2014........

........ Green Leader Andrew Weaver said he’s troubled by the federal government’s plan because it favours large licensed producers and B.C. needs to foster a strong “craft cannabis” sector.  .......... http://www.timescolo...h.8jQ6mSTk.dpuf

Why would you expect an unlicensed illegal pot shop to pay extra for "legal sources"?

Changes in the law / enforcement.              

 

 

  Storefronts can't legally buy from legal Health Canada sources currently.

fentanyl-laced cocaine that was likely smoked

 

How soon will we get the same from a CoV "licenses" pot site?  

 

No worries.....I am sure the blame will go elsewhere.....

Well maybe you have a point, but why would you add fentanyl to marijuana? People will notice pretty quick. Bad for business.

Why ...possibly to make a point .
Why were beluga whales poisoned in Vancouver aquarium ?
To make a point that they shouldn't be there .
The end justifies the means .
That could be one reason or it could be a total accident cross contamination.

I do find it odd cannabis is pulled off the street and into the health canada system and city storefronts(storefronts not foolproof but the power of being able to review a storefront is vary effective and the ability to phone the police and not get arrested yourself), and then fentanyl is introduced into the street drugs….
