CLOSE THEM

All of the pot dispensaries are breaking the law. Close them down. The
Liberal government has said that they want to control distribution.
What are they going to do about established businesses when they
finally decide to come up with their plan?

These pot shops are not getting their cannabis from government-approved 
growers. Some may be fronts for organized crime.

Go in and audit their books. There should be a proper record of sales
and purchases. If they cannot show a receipt for purchase of all their
products (marijuana, cookies, candy and such), then they are obviously
breaking the law by buying from an illegal source. If they are cooking
their own brownies, then Health Canada should be looking into their
business.

How is the government supposed to tax the businesses on their profit
if there is no way of showing a profit because there is no way of
showing purchase price from a legal provider?

The chief of police is not doing his job. He knows they are breaking
the law and is doing squat about it.

Maybe this should be a file sent to Revenue Canada.
