'Patients are at risk of falling between the cracks once again,' says marijuana dispensary owner
Five pot shops in Vernon have agreed to sell marijuana on a rotating basis, after RCMP said last week they may raid stores if the owners don't close up shop.
The warning in Vernon last week followed several similar police advisories in other jurisdictions, including Nanaiimo, Sechelt, and Mission. In all three cases, police moved in with search warrants to seize products and make arrests.
The marijuana dispensaries in Vernon say they take the RCMP's threat seriously, and will suspend sales in four of the five stores every day, leaving one to serve customers who need medical marijuana.
"If we all close down at the same time, we have patients that are terminally ill and by doing that, we are not actually holding any compassion," said Jeff Gaudette, president of MMJ Total Health Care in downtown Vernon.
