POT CULTURE UNWELCOME

Re: First pot shop fined under new bylaw, Oct. 9

There is a bylaw that prohibits smoking in public buildings and within
six metres of doors and intakes. The maximum fine is $10,000. There is
a maximum fine of $2,000 for smoking in parks and beaches.

Yet stoners hold a 'smoke in' at the Art Gallery every year. All of it
illegal. Now, a pot shop is not content with selling its product, it
wants lounges. It's a good thing an entrepreneur is developing a pot
breathalyzer for all the folks driving home. Like alcohol, it's a drug
and fair game.
