Nova Scotia plans ‘modest’ start on marijuana sales — just nine stores
HALIFAX — Cannabis will be sold at only nine Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation stores when the drug is officially legalized in July, the province announced Tuesday.
Pot will be sold at four outlets in the Halifax area and at stores in Amherst, Truro, New Glasgow, Sydney River, and Yarmouth, Justice Minister Mark Furey said.
The province’s plan leaves out two significant regions altogether — the South Shore and Annapolis Valley.
Furey said while he realizes there are “gaps in the map,” the liquor corporation will offer online sales with home delivery and the public will also be able to grow up to four plants per household.
