At least that’s the message from the province’s minister of public safety and solicitor general, Mike Farnworth. The government is also hoping to launch an online sales platform to ensure British Columbians can purchase non-medical cannabis regardless of where they live, he said. He says the province’s new Community Safety Unit will target illegal retail operations, and seize the product and records without a warrant. Farnworth says penalties will also be imposed on those who sell cannabis to children or minors. “The legalization of non-medical cannabis is a historic shift in public policy,” he said.
