Private retailers to sell pot in Sask.
On Monday the province announced one part of the plan for pot sales in Saskatchewan.
SLGA will issue 60 retail permits for stores in up to 40 municipalities and First Nations communities with populations of 2,500 across the province. Larger centres will be allowed multiple retail locations. Based on population, Saskatoon will be eligible for seven stores while Regina can have up to six stores.
Municipalities and First Nations will also be allowed to opt out of having a cannabis store in their community if they choose.
The private sector will control the wholesale and retail side of pot sales under regulation by the SLGA.
