Reefer Madness: How many weed shops are too many weed shops?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Jennifer Pagliaro, City Hall reporter for the Star It's been three years since cannabis was legalized in Canada, and you can see the results on many streets around the GTA. In Ontario, there are now just over 1,000 cannabis stores. Toronto has over 300 alone, with another 200 in the process of getting approval. The issue is that many of them are in neighbourhoods and often right next each other, creating clusters that are in direct competition with each other. With little or no regulations about distancing between stores, and several structural issues within the province's regulations for cannabis sales, the really big question is whether all these stores can survive or if the weed boom will go up in smoke.
