Wellesley has opted in for retail pot stores.
Cambridge city staff has recommended they do too, but the decision will be discussed on Tuesday.

It would be silly to block them. Mississauga has decided to block legal retail stores. I guarantee you I can find dozens of "guys" in the city to sell me weed. Blocking retail stores (or not having them conveniently nearby) will help the black market continue and thrive.

Funny that Cambridge says "OK" to selling pot yet kicks up such a stink about safe injection sites.

I wonder if any of the first 25 lucky lottery winners are in the Region? Nobody seems to have heard of most of them. It could be a year and more before the Region gets a legal retail outlet, which seems ridiculous.

What happens if any of the "winners" are unable to come up with the required fees before the 5-day deadline? Re-draw?

I've been wondering whether the licences are transferable? They'd be worth serious money if they can be sold.

The problem is that the location allocation was regional (i.e. X for SWOntario) so there is no assurance that any one city will get an outlet. I see in today's news that big retailers are trying to hunt down the lucky lottery winners to offer them sweet deals on franchises. Major sh*t show.

So I guess that answers the question if they're transferable or not
