A medical marijuana shop in Winnipeg could be forced to close its doors, but a Winnipeg city councillor says that’s the wrong approach.
Your Medical Cannabis Headquarters opened on July 1.
Owner Glenn Price said police have been in this week warning him and his customers that they could face arrest. Winnipeg police won’t comment but say an investigation is ongoing.
The federal government said stores like this are breaking the law.
But Vancouver is regulating them and Coun. Ross Eadie said Winnipeg should do the same.
Eadie, the Mynarksi representative, said it’s high time the city govern these shops because there is no zoning rule or bylaw precluding them from operating.
"We have to look at what's happening and from a city perspective I want to be able to control where they're doing this, because opening up by a school is not appropriate,” said Eadie.
