A report that is to be debated this week says a new bylaw should restrict all forms of cannabis consumption in public places, or in areas where the public has consent to enter. CALGARY—City administrators in Calgary are recommending councillors adopt a ban on public consumption of cannabis when pot becomes legal later this year. He says cannabis users deserve somewhere public where they can gather to smoke, vape or eat the drug. The city report says the recommendation follows public consultation, including telephone surveys which found a majority of Calgarians would prefer cannabis consumption rules to mirror those for drinking alcohol in public places. But he disputes that rules for cannabis consumption need to be the same as those for booze.
