A City of Saskatoon committee has made it much more difficult for marijuana dispensaries to open in the city.
Today, the Standing Policy Committee on Planning, Development and Community Services voted against issuing business licences to marijuana dispensaries.
Administration argued that medical marijuana falls under federal jurisdiction, and anyone involved with it must get a federal licence.
It also said that the City of Saskatoon should only issue a business licence to the dispensary if it receives federal approval.
