West Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 new top cop says marijuana dispensaries are illegal香蕉视频直播eriod.

At the request of West Kelowna city staff, the city香蕉视频直播檚 new RCMP detachment commander Lesli Roseberry has clarified the force香蕉视频直播檚 position related to marijuana dispensaries.

At a meeting with council Friday, a statement from Roseberry was presented that indicated marijuana continues to be regulated as a controlled substance under the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which the RCMP has an obligation to enforce.

香蕉视频直播淭he RCMP is responsible for enforcing Canadian laws, as they stand today,香蕉视频直播 said Roseberry in her statement. 香蕉视频直播淥ur communities expect that we will take enforcement action to meet this responsibility, and do so in an impartial and professional manner. There is no such thing as having a tolerance for marijuana dispensaries. Simply put, these dispensaries are illegal.香蕉视频直播

Roseberry indicated that there is no legal mechanism available in Canada today which allows for a self-described 香蕉视频直播渕edical marijuana dispensary香蕉视频直播 or 香蕉视频直播渃ompassion club香蕉视频直播 to function.

It is illegal to sell marijuana to the public, regardless of whether or not the purchasing individuals have licenses to possess marijuana or whether or not the vendor has a license to produce marijuana.

While the RCMP supports efforts to ensure that those permitted by the law have their required access to marijuana for medical purposes, the current legislation does not provide blanket legality to produce, use, or traffic marijuana.
