Canada starts legal marijuana sales Wednesday as world watches closely

They took forever to figure out how they were going to market the goods (each province controls its own liquor and now marijuana services). They finally decided on where retail outlets could be located given distances from schools, etc and who could apply for a license (no criminal record). Unfortunately, they haven't approved any licenses yet and then the municipalities have to, if they haven't yet, approve zoning for that type of shop. Cops say they won't raid the unlicensed dispensaries tomorrow, but if they do, those people owning or working there won't be allowed into the industry once licenses are given as they will then have criminal records (if they don't already from previous raids). Some have laid off their staff in advance of tomorrow so they are compliant and can then apply for the license. People will still be able to order online through Shopify, which got the contract, and the pot will be shipped by Canada Post, but there won't be any one day delivery and if you aren't home when they deliver, you have to go to a postal outlet to pick it up. The one shop that will be open is near the Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.
