CITY ENABLING TO COMMIT A CRIME

Dear Editor: Currently in Canada the sale of marijuana and other 
cannabis products for recreational use is against the law. 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.
