TORONTO - The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is considering amending
regulations that require cannabis stores to ensure pot can't be seen from the
exterior of their shop.

The provincial body that oversees the licensing of pot shops says it is
collecting feedback on the visibility of cannabis to respond to safety concerns.

It says in an email to The Canadian Press that it will be collecting feedback
until July 11 and it will notify stores at a later date should it decide to make
changes to the regulations.



Restrictions limiting the visibility of cannabis from the exterior of stores are
meant to ensure minors are not enticed by weed or pot accessories.

Most stores comply with the regulations by covering their doors and windows or
building an interior wall that blocks the view of people passing by the exterior
of the store.

A significant rise in robberies prompted Alberta’s cannabis regulator to allow
stores to take down window coverings last summer.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2023.
