Questions from Council with staff response

1. Is it possible to have a two-tier licensing system for marijuana dispensaries, i.e., a reduced business license fee for a non-profit society?

Yes. Amendments to the proposed License By-law would be required. In the event that Council wishes to proceed with this approach, staff have prepared by-law amendments to:

i) define a separate business licence category called “Compassion Club” based on criteria and operational requirements regarding:

• being a duly registered non-profit society,
• serving only their members,
• providing a minimum level of non-marijuana health services (e.g. massage therapy, acupuncture),
• ensuring that all members may elect or be elected to society director or officer positions,
• holding membership in the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries;
and

ii) establish a business licence fee of $1000.00 for Compassion Clubs.

Fuck the wolves in sheeps clothing at Vancouver shitty hall and their $30,000 fee. Fuck dispensaries who will pass that cost onto sick patients. Grow your own, grow some for a friend..
i agree completely.
they've already won the war on marijuana when we cheer BS "legalization" and welcome $30,000 licensing fee's.
absurd.

4 compassion clubs have been given the green light.. and there's another 15 non-profits that could potentially qualify..

Anyone have a link to the new regulations, cant seem to find anything from the city themselves. I got the funding to start one but need to do homework and waiting to get to talk to Tousaw about it I have heard shitty stories from other people already about landlords wanting crazy money for lease if its for a dispensary. If anyone knows someone with a location that fits the zoning in Vancouver that is in the $2000-3000K per month let me know. It doesn't have to be big but big enough to make it welcoming and not look like a pharmacy.
