Langford Mayor Stew Young was quick to nip any rumours about potential marijuana dispensaries coming to Langford in the bud.

Responding to reports circulating about the possibility of a dispensary in the Belmont Market development on Monday, Young said there has been no approval by the provincial government for any sites or licenses for government-licensed cannabis dispensaries in Langford.

B次元官网网址淎ny discussion on any company or any site is premature until the provincial government grants approval,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淲e are doing absolutely nothing until the province approves it, and there should be no discussion until that time.B次元官网网址�

Langford did submit a Request For proposal in August, but hasnB次元官网网址檛 heard back from the government at this time.

Young reiterated that the city took steps to shut a dispensary down in Langford earlier this year because it was an illegal activity. B次元官网网址淣ow thatB次元官网网址檚 itB次元官网网址檚 legal as of Oct. 19, we will take direction clearly from the government,B次元官网网址� Young said. B次元官网网址淲e will work with the government just like we would on any other legal business.B次元官网网址�

Allan Lingwood, chief compliance officer for The Original FARM cannabis dispensaries, said the company is actively identifying opportunities throughout the province, but cannot be specific regarding locations at this time. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檇 love to be an active member of B.C.B次元官网网址檚 cannabis community and cannabis culture and continue the momentum thatB次元官网网址檚 brought us to where we are today,B次元官网网址� Lingwood said. B次元官网网址淲e plan on opening two Victoria locations as soon as possible.B次元官网网址�
