Membertou Chief and Council are working to develop Membertou’s own cannabis Law to regulate how cannabis is sold and distributed in our Community. This is a significant step toward self-governance and increased Community safety and well-being. The proposed Law will also provide an opportunity for Membertou businesses to operate a legal cannabis business.
