It’s time for cannabis tourism to be taken seriously in Calgary and Alberta — in fact, in all of Canada.
But let’s focus on Calgary.
Coun. Kourtney Penner is introducing a notice of motion to allow for the sale of cannabis at festivals and events to streamline rules and bring them in line with those for alcohol. Selling cannabis at festivals and events is allowed in Alberta, but not in Calgary, because of how the original bylaw was written in 2018. The current bylaw says cannabis sales have to be tied to a provincial licence, which has to be done at a brick-and-mortar location.
Canadian governments make poor drug dealers.
