Mayor Tory says he will use “whatever enforcement mechanisms” are available to stop the growing number of marijuana dispensaries. In his remarks Thursday,the mayor said these shops are “operating unlawfully”. Tory said he will ask the licensing and standards committee to support a “review of the current operations of marijuana dispensaries” but in the meantime he want staff to apply current laws to stop such openings. “We can’t just have medical marijuana dispensaries popping up on every street corner in a completely unregulated manner pending a change in the law,” Tory told reporters. “The law has not changed yet and I recognize the fact and in fact support that it is going to change. But in the meantime we can’t have the wild west of medical marijuana distribution.” Illegal marijuana stores are blooming like dandelions
