Membertou’s Proposed Cannabis Law: What You Need To Know
Your feedback is an important part of shaping this Law. Connect with us to share your
thoughts!
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.
We appreciate everyone’s continued interest and participation in these important discussions. Updated session dates will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work together on the development of Membertou’s proposed Cannabis Law.
