Regina Rams season ends with Mitchell Bowl loss to Laval
Nov 16, 2024
Laval Rouge et Or earned the 17-14 win at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday.
The only legal cannabis outlet within an hours drive of Saskatoon has run out of stock just three days after the drug became legal in Canada.
Jimmy’s Cannabis store in Martensville posted to its Facebook page Thursday to inform customers they sold out of pot products.
“These are the largest shipments of cannabis in a recreational market in the world and these are people that are doing it for the first time and we have to be understanding,” Jimmy’s chief marketing officer Natasha Perkins said.
The post suggested they expected another shipment in about a week. While they wouldn’t have cannabis on the shelves, the post noted other items such as apparel and accessories would still be available.
Jimmy’s was one of six outlets that opened with cannabis to sell on Oct. 17, out of over 50 licensed shops in the province.
No stores were able to open in either Saskatoon or Regina due mainly to supply shortages.
Jimmy’s wrote that its Battlefords location still had a limited amount of cannabis on hand as of Thursday, with sales to be conducted on a first-come, first served basis.
Attributing it to growing pains in a new industry, Perkins said logistics need to be smoothed out. “Getting the proper packaging in the right place and stamping the right way and I think it’s fine that, you know, we have a bit of a lag. We’d rather see quality, we don’t want that compromised, and safety,” Perkins added.
