‘Not a black-and-white issue’: Public input wanted on cannabis consumption sites
CALGARY — The city of Calgary is gathering input from its citizens over the next couple of weeks on proposed sites where people would be allowed to consume marijuana in public.
The city has a population of almost 1.3 million people and the public sites are considered necessary because landlord and tenant agreements, condo bylaws and hotel rules can prohibit marijuana consumption.
However, a municipality can approve designated areas where cannabis can be smoked, vaped or eaten.
The use of recreational pot is to become legal Oct. 17.
