Peterborough's marijuana store, Cannabis Culture, reopened Tuesday morning, with city police announcing that the opening has their attention.
The shop was closed Sept 15, days after it opened, when city police raided it and removed its products. Two people, store owner Richard Standen and employee Maranda Gallant, were arrested.
Standen, 62, of Wecker Drive in Oshawa, was charged with trafficking marijuana, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.
Gallant, 21, of Brock Street, was charged with trafficking marijuana.
Both are now out on bail.
The reopening was shared on Twitter by marijuana advocate Marc Emery. A lineup formed outside the store before it reopened.
City police issued a statement soon after the reopening, saying the situation will be monitored.
"There are laws in effect to control the sale and purchase of marijuana in Canada. Under current marijuana laws, the role of our Police Service remains enforcement of the current law. Those who breach those laws can be charged with criminal offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act."
