Regina City Council approved a report highlighting the legalization of cannabis on the city’s black market.
When legalization occurred in 2018, the city decided to allow only 6 stores, and enacting some of the strictest rules in the country.
Mayor Sandra Masters says the stores have had a devastating impact to the black market, and more stores would eliminate it even further.
“There is, clearly, much less being acquired or purchased within the black market,” said Masters. “The idea being, that if, we ease some of the restrictions relative to where and how many can operate, this should continue to chew away at some of that black market operation.”
