There are just over three weeks left to go before marijuana is made legal yet not one of the dozen or so marijuana dispsenaries in Vernon has applied for a provincial license to sell its products, according to a City of Vernon official.
Kim Flick, director of Community Development, says the shops must get provincial approval in order to operate.
“As of October 17th, those cannabis shops will have temporary use permits and business licenses and they can be open, from the city’s perspective, but they cannot sell cannabis because none of them have a license from the province to sell cannabis,” Flick told Vernon city council on Monday.
Flick said the city has been informed that two provincial applications to sell pot in Vernon have been made, but not from those currently in operation.
