Cannabis shops in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

7 new marijuana stores are set to open downtown and council is not having any of it. These people are not only out of touch and seem like they're against it as a substance, but they should also not be micromanaging stuff at this level: https://www.cambridgetimes.ca/news-story...kitchener/

Well, no, the "council" is not trying to control it. Sarah Marsh said it's too many (in her opinion) but that's not the same as the council trying to control it. And the council really can't, anyway, except by modifying the zoning bylaws, and I don't expect to see that happening.

There may be seven applications for DTK but I really don't expect to see them all open: some later ones will end up being abandoned. And, longer term, probably only two or three can thrive in the downtown area.

P.S. There is no reason to believe that four DTK shops would sell more marijuana than two shops would.
