Toronto police and city officials had no choice but to “take some action” against the illegal marijuana shops that have sprung up, says Premier Kathleen Wynne. “In terms of the dispensaries there’s been a real grey area for a while because the federal government has said they are moving ahead on the legalization of marijuana,” Wynne told reporters after a speech in Calgary. It must be supplied by one of the 31 producers licensed and inspected by Health Canada and delivered via registered mail. It was Wynne’s first public comment since Thursday’s police raids of dozens of “dispensaries” resulted in the arrest of 90 people and the laying of 186 trafficking charges and 71 proceeds-of-crime charges. We have to understand what the rules are.”The premier emphasized that, when it comes to recreational weed, her government wants it restricted as alcohol is.
