Kamloops lawyer weighs in on pot regulations
KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops lawyer says there are “positives and negatives” to the new pot regulations the B.C. government rolled out Monday.
Shawn Buckley, principal lawyer with Buckley and Company, has an acute interest in marijuana legislation, and has represented medical marijuana providers in constitutional challenges to existing legislation.
“So, it’s positive that they’re being very proactive and I think actually it’s positive that they’re deciding initially we’re not going to allow sales with alcohol in urban areas,” says Buckley.
As for the negatives?
