    You guys want young generation to smoke this and put money in to your pockets. You are not thinking about the children and the community you are only thinking about your pockets

    How many of those shops will provide low-barrier medical access? Zero.

    Free the weed. Free the people.

    Why you don’t come to Hastings and Main Street and live 24 hours and see with your own eyes what this drugs are doing to people???

    Some of the people in the video have serious substance abuse issues – bodies ravaged – health destroyed. Massive jowls, double chins, obese bodies … thanks to sugar and industrial β€œfood”. Speak not ill of cannabis while you defile the temple of your own body with industrial ultra processed garbage.

    Build playgrounds and community centres where people can enjoy instead of opening this kind of shops

    The cartels love Surrey.
    No competition from government.

    I 100% support this decision and look forward to one of them opening in my neighborhood where it will be more convenient for me to purchase on my way home from work rather than go a city or two over
