This will likely change at some time in the future but that is not the point of this letter. If the administration of the City of Penticton or any other city provides a business permit to "pot shops," they would be both condoning and enabling what is currently a crime. There will almost certainly be a time when the provision of permits to cannabis dispensaries will be a reality but it should be when these businesses are both legal and properly regulated.
