Marijuana dispensaries selling to recreational users set to open in Montreal
MONTREAL — Several pot dispensaries set to open in Montreal on Thursday will be selling marijuana to recreational users despite federal rules that forbid such shops.
Jodie Emery, a marijuana activist who owns the Cannabis Culture brand with her husband Marc Emery, Canada’s self-styled “prince of pot,” said in an interview the number of outlets will be between five and 10.
Emery tweeted she planned to announce the locations later Wednesday.
She says investors are lining up to open retail outlets as Ottawa forges ahead with plans to legalize marijuana.
