City looks to crack down on pot dispensaries
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops is looking at making changes to its Business License and Regulation Bylaw in an effort to gain better control of pot dispensaries around the city.
Earlier this year the federal government announced its plan to legalize marijuana July 1 2018.
The city currently doesn’t regulate the retail sale of non-medical cannabis or issue business licenses for dispensaries.
It says it isn’t able to adopt zoning regulations for dispensaries until the province rolls out its plan for distribution and sale of non-medical pot which has for the most part been quiet.
