Halifax Regional Municipality is taking the fight against cannabis shops to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. The retail shop and landlord pleaded guilty on Dec. 1 to operating without a permit and Coastal Cannapy was ordered to close. Municipal spokesperson Brendan Elliot says the cannabis shop refused to close despite a provincial court order. In Nova Scotia, those stores will still be illegal after cannabis possession is no longer a crime, as only the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation will be allowed to sell and dispense the drug. We want to see what the Supreme Court does with this one and then we'll go from there."
