An Edmonton city councillor wants the city to become the cannabis capital of the world.
Coun. Michael Janz says after four years of legalization, he wants to see Edmonton become a pot tourism destination in Canada.
“I think we already have all the ingredients here in Edmonton and Alberta,” said Janz, the councillor for Ward papastew. “We’ve got some of the best post-secondaries, we’ve got a great (agriculture) tech sector.
“We already have people innovating in this space… but we as a city can get out of the way.”
With 164 stores, Edmonton has the highest number of retailers per capita.
Janz says city council is currently reviewing zoning bylaws around cannabis. He’s hoping to see rules change so consumers can have more options.
