Legalization good news for local business owner
The legalization of marijuana in Canada now has a date, and that’s good news for a North Battleford business.
Dale Whiteside, owner of Rockshop SmokeShop, said even though his business doesn’t sell marijuana, he’s excited for the boost that it will bring to the entire industry.
“It’s going to make my business pick up, because there will be a lot of curiosity in the city,” Whiteside told battlefordsNOW, “We’re a specialty store, as far as pot-related items go. I do not sell marijuana and I did not apply for a dispensaries license, and I’m okay with that.”
Justin Trudeau confirmed the legalization date of Oct. 17 during Question Period this afternoon in Ottawa.
