On Friday, May 13th, Mayor John Tory made a statement on CBC that by the end of May, all Toronto "pot shops" - compassion clubs & dispensaries and the like - will face potential police actions and fines of 50,000. The majority of Ontarians support the dispensary model. We call on John Tory to meet with patients and local business owners who have already created working rules and regulations for ethical cannabis businesses to abide by, and ask that he allow responsible businesses addressing the needs of patients, paying taxes, and operating with the support of most Ontarians to continue to operate.
