More province-run pot shops approved — mostly for smaller towns via TheGrowthOp
Five months after cannabis was legalized in Canada, B.C. is operating only one province-run store, in Kamloops, and the earliest that the next government stores will open is late summer.
The branch’s website says that once a lease has been signed, “it can take up to seven months” to build the store. For instance, in Vancouver, pot shops can’t open within 300 metres of another legal shop, schools, community centres or houses. There are three legal, private shops in Vancouver and several that continue to operate illegally. About 60 have received development permits from the city, the first step in opening a legal private store.
