  9. @theguy-ks4oi on January 10, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    If a kid want weed he just going to buy it off the guy off the street LMFAO

    Covering the windows in places has always been a dumb idea. Places around here started doing that when i was a kid. So many ads in the window you couldn’t see anything at all going on inside. Those places were the only places getting robbed for years around here. Cops can’t see in there either when they drive right by these robberies before getting a call & doing a U-turn. Too late usually by then.

    now this is where justin will shine – protecting criminals.



  12. @danmclean8183 on January 10, 2024 at 11:12 pm

    So kids can"t see cannabis or Cigarette products , but it is ok for drag queen story hours ……unbelievable !



  13. @jumbome7420 on January 10, 2024 at 11:14 pm

    Only could the government screw up selling weed



  14. @royormonde3682 on January 10, 2024 at 11:21 pm

    There’s way to make glass one way view with films available that can be applied in a few hours and they do make 2 way mirror. None of these are going to stop these morons.



  15. @Stevi987 on January 10, 2024 at 11:21 pm

    Trudeau cares more about the criminals than the victims they terrorize!
    P.S. What about the cocaine?



  16. @HenriqueTavares on January 10, 2024 at 11:24 pm

    Stupid non-logical legislation. The store is there, with Cannabis leaves in windows/glasses or in the brand name in advertisements or in sidewalks and etc. So what is the difference between not seeing what is inside since EVERYONE know what the store is about? We are in 2023 with a mindset of the early 1900. This is stupid.



  17. @briankroger7879 on January 10, 2024 at 11:27 pm

    Everything Trudeau has done has ended in failure.



  18. @eatmydust9059 on January 10, 2024 at 11:34 pm

    You must be nineteen years of age to smoke pot but yet you can be a minor and see sexual acts in your own school’s library or read sexual material on their shelves. Both affect their minds but yet one is deemed worse than the other.



  19. @Cooking_Patty55 on January 10, 2024 at 11:34 pm

    This is ridiculous, you already have to be 19 to go in there, why isn’t the lcbo covered Up? THATS WAY MORE ADDICTING



  20. @TimeForTacos on January 10, 2024 at 11:35 pm

    Weed at weed shops sux anyways.



  21. @eatmydust9059 on January 10, 2024 at 11:39 pm

    How come kids are allowed to clearly see drag queens flaunt their stuff, but pot stores aren’t allowed to flaunt theirs ?



  22. @clivejones1012 on January 10, 2024 at 11:39 pm

    Stop selling weed, problem solved.



  23. @Brendynmemes on January 10, 2024 at 11:40 pm

    They don’t even know what they’re selling or the quality of cannabis they’re selling but they will sell it. If there’s ever problems with the product they just direct you to Ontario Cannabis Store and blame them.



  24. @NoOne-ze7fv on January 10, 2024 at 11:40 pm

    For years the kid on the corner made money sell pot,but the government is too stupid to even get close to turning a profit,way,way too much overhead and dumb regulations!



  25. @joekickass9233 on January 10, 2024 at 11:43 pm

    Clear windows are gonna stop an armed gunman… Derpdederp



  26. @gurpsian on January 10, 2024 at 11:49 pm

    No one even goes to dispensaries in Vancouver British Columbia just close them down and let the grey market operate since the legal stuff is garbage quality



  27. @patientzero291 on January 10, 2024 at 11:51 pm

    Government ID and face reveal to enter premises will be the next step for all retail.
