An Ottawa judge has blasted the police force for failing to shut down the city's illegal marijuana dispensaries. Justice Norman Boxall said Friday he can't understand why it's so difficult to close shops that operate openly on major streets. "I just don't understand how the police cannot shut down a dispensary where the person has a big sign up, as I drive down Rideau Street, that says 'marijuana dispensary.' They brag about it on the internet that they are selling it. [continues 431 words]
There may be as much as $1 billion in tax revenue at stake as Canada readies for legalized marijuana next summer. The cut for cities? So far, zero. Municipalities may be left in the cold when it comes to sharing in the cash from legalized pot sales, with the federal government proposing a 10 per cent excise tax - or $1 per gram, whichever is higher - to be split evenly between the provinces and the feds. Little has been said about how many, if any, tax dollars will flow to cities bearing the burden of costs associated with policing, licensing and enforcement of marijuana sales after July 1.

KITCHENER - A judge who granted an absolute discharge to a Kitchener couple running an illegal marijuana dispensary has handed out a tiny fine to one of them for careless storage of a loaded handgun. Nour Louka, 30, owned and operated the Waterloo Dispensary, which sold marijuana out of a second-floor business on King Street in uptown Waterloo. Her husband, Shady Louka, 32, was a part-time, temporary employee. Justice Colin Westman had said in July that he would grant an absolute discharge and he made it official on Thursday.

( Re: Feds set tax on pot at $ 1 per gram plus GST, Nov. 10 edition) When Justin Trudeau first floated his marijuana legalization plan, to get votes and new tax revenue, he claimed it was the best way to curb black market sales, thereby keeping it away from children, who can cause serious harm to their developing brains. Now, by coming up with this substantial tax, Trudeau is throwing out an open invitation to organized crime groups to grow and sell illicit pot. To further compound the problem, Trudeau wants to allow anyone to grown four marijuana plants, a huge gift to organized crime. [continues 72 words]
Politics Everything is political in the months before an election. And that's especially true for where the pot stores are going to be located. Earlier this month, 14 locations were announced for provincially-run recreational cannabis stores. One of those will be in Kitchener. Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said he wasn't surprised "in light of our size, the fact that we're the eleventh-largest region in the country." I'm not surprised either, but I think it's about politics, not size. [continues 460 words]
When Justin Trudeau first floated his plan to legalize marijuana he said that this was the best way to keep this dangerous drug away from our children by curbing black market sales. As we have seen with the sale of cigarettes, after tens of millions spent fighting against organized crime's involvement selling illicit smokes, the battle is far from won. Organized crime is involved in growing and selling pot in Colorado and Washington states and will do the same here. This has been made easier for criminal groups, as anyone is entitled to grow four plants; virtually impossible to police. [continues 115 words]
Four students share their stories of drug use on campus Illicit drug use among university students might be more common than our parents would like to think. According to the Canadian Tobacco Alcohol and Drugs Survey published by Health Canada in 2015, 11 per cent of 20-24 year-old respondents reported doing cocaine, five said they do speed, meth or other amphetamines, 15 per cent took ecstasy and 16 per cent reported taking hallucinogens. Despite being illegal, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines and stimulants are a very real part of student culture on campus. Although a large majority of students might never encounter them, these drugs exist within social circles across university campuses. [continues 1252 words]
Users fed their poisons - but safely - in public park It's the perfect setup for hard-core addicts. There's a special tent for crack smokers. There's another tent to provide safe injections of illegal drugs like heroin, fentanyl and opiates and handouts of Naloxone (an antidote for opioid overdoses) - the tent now winterized with the generous assistance of the health ministry. Overseeing the "military-grade equipment" that provides heating and lighting are two staff with the ministry's emergency medical assistance team (EMAT). Cost is unknown at this point because the "deployment is ongoing," says Laura Gallant, spokesman for Health Minister Eric Hoskins. [continues 623 words]
The county issued a request for proposals last week for local drug strategy to address opioid and other substance misuse issues Oxford County is zeroing in on the development of a local drug strategy that would include an overdose response plan for the opioid crisis. Last week, the county issued a request for proposals for the development of a drug strategy to enhance local opioid response while working towards building a sustainable community outreach and response capacity. "We are reaching out to individuals and organizations who may be interested in developing a drug strategy for Oxford County to address opiate issues and other substance misuse," said Peter Heywood, manager of health protection for Oxford County public health. "We look forward to reviewing those proposals in a couple weeks." [continues 218 words]
City and province meet to talk about locating new marijuana dispensary KITCHENER - The province had its first meeting with Kitchener municipal staff since announcing earlier this month that the city would be home to one of the first government-run pot shops to open in Ontario by July. On Tuesday, Waterloo Regional police and city staff met with representatives from the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and the Ministry of Finance to discuss how a storefront location in the city will be selected.

One was the chief of police for Toronto, London, York Region and the OPP. The other spent 34 years putting away bad guys as a member of the RCMP, retiring as deputy commissioner of Federal and International Policing. In the past, if former police chief Julian Fantino or onetime RCMP officer Raf Souccar were talking to you about cannabis, it would be time to quickly head for the door or maybe even call a lawyer. Not anymore. Fantino and Souccar now fight for the benefits of marijuana: The legal kind that is. The kind used for medical purposes. [continues 553 words]
Liberals ignoring concerns about decriminalizing pot On April 13, the Liberal government introduced legislation that would allow for the recreational use of marijuana for Canadians over the age of 18, and eliminate penalties for possession of marijuana (up to five grams) for those between the ages of 12 and 18. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government have repeated time and time again that the aim of this legislation is to protect our children and increase public safety. However, neither of these goals is accomplished with this legislation. This is not just my view. In a recent Angus Reid poll, approximately two in three Canadians (66 per cent) said they believe that this legislation fails to prevent young people from using marijuana more than they already do.

There are two things to be said about the 11-year-prison sentence handed out last week to Kitchener fentanyl dealer Erin Vezina. First, it is as hard as nails; indeed it's the most severe punishment involving a fentanyl-related crime ever handed out in Waterloo Region. Second, this is what real justice looks like. Bravo, Justice Melanie Sopinka, for your wise decision. In only a few years, the abuse of illicit opioids, especially fentanyl, has exploded into a national crisis that is believed to have claimed 2,458 lives across Canada in 2016 alone.

Report looks at return on investment for technology The use of a drone has provided some cost savings for the Chatham-Kent Police Service, but that wasn't the purpose for obtaining the technology, says Chief Gary Conn. "The true value is in life-saving and how does one attach a dollar figure to a person's life? You just can't," the chief said. Conn presented a return on investment report to the Chatham-Kent Police Services board on Tuesday regarding the first six months since police bought the drone for more than $110,000.

If St. Paul, one of the most virulent and effective enemies of early Christians could pull off the greatest about face in history and become the religion's most prolific proponent, then who am I to argue with former Toronto police chief Julian Fantino as a shill for the marijuana industry. Fantino, the macho, no-nonsense, law-and-order tough guy from Vaughan stood at a podium in his city Tuesday singing the virtues of - pot. Yes, he used to bust men and women, boys and girls - locked them up for smoking a joint or a spliff - ignoring the haze of vibe-inducing smoke and the good vibes of the "natural mystic flowing in the air," riding the Rasta rhythms of Bob Marley or the raw rhetoric of Peter Tosh's Legalize it. That was then. [continues 1119 words]

BIA expresses concern about T.O.'s first harm-reduction site In a mere matter of months it seems the city's first harmreduction site has turned one of Toronto's top tourist areas into a needle disposal site.

Mayor fears without proper regulations, legalization of cannabis could have a number of unforeseen impacts Right now, the scenarios are only 'what ifs', but come next year, these troubling situations could become a reality. What if, during a drug screening at work, THC shows up in your system because while sitting on your deck, your neighbour was smoking pot on the other side of the fence? What if you called the City of Oshawa to do something about said neighbour smoking in his backyard, could they do something about it? [continues 455 words]
That fury you hear? The betrayal medical cannabis patients and activists feel after the federal government went back on yet another promise surrounding legal marijuana. Last Friday, the Department of Finance announced a federal tax proposal that could see an excise charge of $1/gram or 10% (whichever is higher) on both recreational and medical cannabis. According to Ottawa, the revenues will be shared equally between the feds, provinces and territories. So what are they smoking? The shady government is apparently 'concerned' users will lie to their doctors, pretend to be sick and navigate the complex workings of the medical cannabis system in order to save the extra 10% tax that would be reserved for recreational pot.

Legalizing marijuana could mean people more people will grow pot, which may hurt real estate sales, say city and national realty officials. The looming federal legislation to legalize cannabis use states people can grow up to four plants at home. But each pot plant can grow to more than two metres and yield four crops a year, posing a risk of water and mold damage inside a home, said Costa Poulopoulos, a London realtor who is director of the Ontario region for the Canadian Real Estate Association and a board member of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

$1 per gram plan revealed, but premier says provinces will carry an unfair burden OTTAWA- The federal government formally rolled out details Friday of its tax plan for legalized marijuana, proposing a combined federal-provincial excise tax capped at 10 per cent, or $1 per gram, with the revenue haul split equally with provinces. In documents that urge a "co-ordinated approach" between federal and provincial/territorial governments, Ottawa implicitly acknowledged that provinces could move to set excise taxes higher, but said that would fail to keep black market producers out.

Re: Kitchener among first cities to get LCBO-run pot shop? - Nov. 4 Why promote cannabis in Ontario? What has happened to the no-smoking publicity that we have been bombarded with over the past several decades; the hazards of smoking related to cancer, lung disease etc.? Legislation has been passed to hide cigarettes in stores and put frightening pictures on cigarette packages. No smoking in public places laws have been passed. Now our government is encouraging young and old people to smoke marijuana, cannabis or weed. We're going to open stores to sell this stuff. Of course it will be controlled by our government. Who's going to profit from this business venture? Haven't we experienced the death of a loved one or friend who was afflicted with cancer? Put a stop to this stupidity. Do some research. Google the hazards of cannabis. Speak up. Talk to your children. Ron Wagner Elmira [end]
Mayor Dan Mathieson said it was to be expected that Stratford wasn't included in the first wave of municipalities chosen by the province to have government-run marijuana outlets by next year. But more information will be needed from upper levels of governments, he added, to determine the real impacts the rollout of the proposed legislation will have in the city and whether not being included in the first wave was a positive or negative development. The province announced last week the first cities where the province will open stand-alone LCBO-like stores that will be authorized to sell pot. [continues 509 words]

SIMCOE - A marijuana patch wound up costing Norfolk County $76,100 during last summer's toxic gas well emergency in Silver Hill. Staff from the Ministry of the Environment stumbled across the marijuana while setting up air-quality monitoring equipment on North Walsingham Road 10. Because of the marijuana, MOE determined that the site was potentially dangerous. MOE monitoring equipment and technicians were removed to a location on the edge of the "hot zone." They could not be convinced to find a location closer to the offending gas wells. [continues 527 words]
Re: "Feds want to tax weed at $1 per gram plus GST," Nov. 10. When Justin Trudeau first floated his plan to legalize marijuana, he claimed this was the best way to keep it away from young people, who are at great risk, by cutting out blackmarket sales. Now, with his plan to reap revenue through heavy taxes, Trudeau is ensuring organized crime groups will become involved in illicit sales of the drug. High taxes on cigarettes have had the same illicit sales results. [continues 68 words]
Wayne Thomson hopes his fellow city councillors will support a resolution he plans to bring forward at a Nov. 28 meeting calling on the province to set up a pot shop in Niagara Falls. "That would increase our visitation substantially, create all kinds of jobs, and really be an economic opportunity for us," said the veteran politician and chairman of Niagara Falls Tourism. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which will run new marijuana stores through a subsidiary, recently announced the first 14 cities where legal pot shops will be located when recreational marijuana becomes legal next July.

Many Canadians can hardly wait for the day that the recreational use of marijuana becomes legal. As a doctor, I'm far less enthusiastic. I worry about two things: the experimental nature of marijuana in medical practice, and the public health consequences of legalized marijuana. Before you write me off as overly prudish or an anti-marijuana conservative, let me say that I'm not opposed to legalized marijuana in principle. I'm just paying attention to the evidence, or rather, the lack of it. My concern is that as marijuana becomes more easily available, Canadians may become more inclined to self-medicate with this drug. [continues 427 words]
Canada's response to the opioid crisis has been fragmented and marginally effective at best. We deserve a better approach, and the answers are out there. Other countries are effectively dealing with the issue and Canada should be more open to learning from them. There are several key steps we can take to ensure Canadians with addiction can lead healthier, happier and more productive lives. First, we need to recognize this is actually a crisis. Do you remember SARS and how it impacted every Canadian with a focused response from our public health teams? Forty-four Canadians died from SARS. How about AIDS at its peak in 1995? We all were aware of the crisis and as Canadians we worked together diligently to help. That year about 1,400 people died from AIDS. Compare this to over 2,400 Canadians dying from opioid overdoses in 2016 and the number likely to double in 2017. [continues 625 words]
Mayor Chris Friel says he isn't surprised that Brantford is not among the first Ontario cities selected to have legal marijuana stores by next July. "All of the cities on the list have had problems with illegal dispensaries," Friel said Monday. "I could have told you which cities would be on the list before it was released by the LCBO," he said, "The provincial government wants to target those communities and it's also looking to maximize profit." Last February, Brantford police twice raided a Cannabis Culture outlet on Colborne Street West. But the mayor said, unlike some other municipalities, Brantford hasn't had problems with illegal dispensaries because the city acted to ban them. [continues 738 words]
MOONBEAM - The town has snuffed out a request to amend its business licensing bylaw in order to accommodate a medical marijuana dispensary within the municipality. Robert Neron, a long-time user and advocate of medical marijuana, made a presentation to town council Monday night, with the hopes of opening a marijuana dispensary in Moonbeam by the spring of 2018. Mayor Gilles Audet told The Daily Press there were several reasons behind council's decision to deny the request. The general feeling around the council table, Audet explained, was that Neron should be directing his request to a higher authority of government. [continues 243 words]
There are still some big questions and concerns to figure out before July 1 The end of Prohibition gave birth to the LCBO nearly a century ago. Now the legalization of marijuana is giving rise to the OCRC: Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation. That's about as awkward an acronym - if not anachronism - as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. While today's LCBO has become a brand in its own right, it's fair to say the OCRC will never become a household word. [continues 762 words]
Time is running out for Ontario's marijuana plan Ontario's planning for distribution of recreational marijuana is being done by the seat of the government's pants, says Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley. On Friday the Ontario government announced the first 14 communities where LBCO marijuana outlets would be located. Their target is for 40 outlets to open by July 2018 to mach the federal government's date for legalization of recreational marijuana. As of July 2019 80 stores will be open and in 2020 there will be 150 across the province. [continues 266 words]

Maybe they're interested in medical cannabis and they don't know where to go or what to ask," event organizer Sacha Hockenhull said. [continues 752 words]
Local LCBO employees who belong to OPSEU are excited and anxious for Kingston to get its own government-run marjiuana store. "In my 13 years I never thought this would happen, but I'm excited," Teresa Graham, president of OPSEU Local 497, said. Graham spoke with the Whig-Standard Sunday morning, before her first shift as a fulltime employee with the LCBO. "All we've been told is that there is one coming to Kingston, it's going to be a standalone store, not in the LCBO, run by OPSEU members." [continues 554 words]
Years ago, when Justin Trudeau stepped onto a platform in a Vancouver park and proclaimed through a cloud of sweet-smelling haze that a federal Liberal government would legalize marijuana, there was much excitement within the cannabis community. With last week's announcement by Trudeau's provincial Liberal cousins, the realities of draconian regulation in Ontario have resulted in the crushing disappointment of those long-forgotten high hopes. For recreational users, smoking will only be permitted in private residences. Puffing at work, on university campuses, on patios, sidewalks or parks, will all remain prohibited. [continues 442 words]
Opposition support unclear after Liberal attorney general tables bill on marijuana sales It remains hazy whether the opposition parties at Queen's Park will back the provincial Liberal government's legislation for recreational marijuana. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi last Wednesday tabled the Cannabis Act, the blueprint for how and where marijuana will be sold in Ontario after the federal government legalizes it July 1. Naqvi's bill creates the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation (OCRC), an LCBO subsidiary that will control online sales and operate 40 stand-alone weed shops as of next summer. That number will rise to 150 by 2020. [continues 664 words]

OK comes as city, province spar over unsanctioned tent nearby A trailer at the Shepherds of Good Hope became Ottawa's third legal supervised injection site late Monday. Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced in a news release that the federal government has approved an exemption permitting Inner City Health Ottawa to operate a sanctioned injection site in the trailer.

Province releases list of 14 municipalities to receive green light for marijuana stores Green Sprouts Cafe and Vapor Lounge owners allow people to rent bongs in their shop to vape marijuana. But all that might change next year since Barrie has been given the nod and a wink by the province to open one of the first legal cannabis shops. Located on Chase McEachern Way, cafe owners Chris and Gillian Green say they plan to maintain their business model and determine if the legal loophole that allows them to offer vaping on the premises is squashed by the new federal legislation.

The marijuana industry is moving from counterculture to corporate. Not everyone is happy about it. On a grey Friday morning early last month, the Mayor of Niagara Falls, Ontario, took the stage to deliver the welcoming address at the Grow Up Cannabis Conference and Expo, one of the bigger industry events that have sprung up around Canada's burgeoning marijuana sector. Sporting a tie with what he described as "green flowers," Jim Diodati warmed up the audience with an anecdote about how as a politician he had braced for the "moment of truth," when he would be asked by the press if he had ever smoked marijuana (he had experimented once upon a time, he told a reporter, but was no longer a user).

TORONTO * Ontario has named the first 14 cities where it will set up government-run marijuana stores by July 2018. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which will run the shops through a subsidiary, said Friday the stores will be located in Barrie, Brampton, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, Ottawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Vaughan and Windsor. The LCBO said its representatives, along with staff from Ontario's Ministry of Finance, will meet with the municipalities in the coming weeks to determine the exact locations. [continues 351 words]
Despite the local buzz about legal marijuana, setting up a pot shop in Niagara was apparently not a high priority for the provincial government. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario, which will run new marijuana stores through a subsidiary, announced Friday the first 14 cities where legal pot shops will be located when recreational marijuana becomes legal next July. And Niagara wasn't among them. Being omitted from the list was a surprise to Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati - who represents a city where pro-marijuana events are held annually on April 20, and the Grow Up Cannabis Conference & Expo held in early October attracted thousands of participants.

Leeds-Grenville was left out in the weeds as the province announced the first 14 cities that will get government-run pot shops next summer. The LCBO, the agency responsible for running the new dispensaries, announced the first batch of selected locations Friday, and though the area may be home to Tweed, the country's largest cannabis manufacturing company, you won't be able to buy it at any physical location throughout the counties. The closest stores will be located in Kingston and Ottawa. [continues 496 words]
Marijuana activist predicts high demand with American tourist among clientele Windsor will be among the first cities in Ontario to host a cannabis store once pot is legalized next summer. The province on Friday identified the first 14 communities that will operate stand-alone outlets for recreational pot sales by July 2018. The Wynne Liberals announced in September that the LCBO will oversee 40 such retail locations across Ontario by the projected legalization date set by Ottawa. "It's going to get nuts," local cannabis activist Jon Liedtke predicts if Windsor and Essex County end up sharing only one such retail outlet. [continues 663 words]
The end of Prohibition gave birth to the LCBO nearly a century ago. Now the legalization of marijuana is giving rise to the OCRC: Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation. That's about as awkward an acronym - if not anachronism - as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. While today's LCBO has become a brand in its own right, it's fair to say the OCRC will never become a household word. Leery of being branded a bunch of fuddy-duddies - especially when all the critics try to sound so hip - Liberal cabinet ministers went out of their way this week to stress that the title is just a corporate placeholder. The government has promised a proper rebranding when the first 40 outlets open with a less lumbering name next July 1. [continues 695 words]
