Customers at a suburban pot shop were buying their weed from a take-out window carved into a boarded-up storefront on Saturday.
The front of the CannaGreen dispensary on Roydon Place, near Hunt Club and Merivale roads, was destroying Thursday night after a truck drove into it.
The front of the illegal dispensary is now boarded up, but a hole has been cut in the plywood to create a take-out window. Customers stood on the sidewalk to order their dried weed, cannabis-laced cookies, candy and pop.
“It’s pretty crazy,” said a 20-year-old student who came with his buddy to check out the pot shop. He said the shop charges a bit more for marijuana than street dealers, but he feels safer. “It’s convenient. You don’t have to get robbed. And you don’t know what you’re getting from the streets, it could be sprayed.
“This is a medical dispensary. You’re going to get good stuff here.”
CannaGreen is one of about 16 marijuana dispensaries in town. They are all illegal, according to the federal government, which warns that the products sold there are unregulated and possibly unsafe.
That hasn’t stopped hundreds of customers from flocking to them.
Another middle-aged customer at CannaGreen said he uses marijuana to help his PTSD. He is signed up to buy medical marijuana legally from a producer licensed by Health Canada.
But he supports the free market, said the man who, like the other customers, did not want to be identified. He can buy a greater variety of products at the dispensary, in smaller quantities, than from the legal producers.
The landlord of the CannaGreen dispensary says he has been trying to get rid of the tenant, who took over the space in the strip mall in September. The landlord, who also does not want to be named, said he didn’t realize the store would be selling marijuana, and is upset about it. The lease was to “Wee Medical Society.” The landlord said he has asked police to close the shop, and is negotiating with his lawyer to try to have the lease cancelled.
Ottawa police say they are investigating all the marijuana dispensaries.
