Illegal Montreal Marijuana Dispensaries Set to Open Today
Stores opening despite fact that current federal law does not allow for recreational sale of marijuana.
A Canadian chain of recreational marijuana dispensaries is set to open eight shops across Montreal today.
Cannabis Culture, which is co-owned by activists Jodie and Marc Emery, already has stores in British Columbia and Ontario.
They're now bringing their shops to Montreal, despite the fact that current federal law does not allow for the recreational sale of marijuana in Canada.
The government is expected to table legislation legalizing cannabis in the spring.The couple hope to open a total of 10 shops in Montreal by the end of the month. Eight of them will open today at 10 a.m., while the remaining two locations have yet to be disclosed and are slated to open by the end of the month.
Cannabis Culture dispensaries have had run-ins with police in the past. Over the summer, a number of their dispensaries were raided by police in Ontario.
