More than three years after the legalization of cannabis, municipal bans on pot retailers have left many communities across Canada without a brick-and-mortar source, while other areas are overcrowded with cannabis stores.

Caught in the middle are cannabis companies -- many of which are not yet profitable -- and consumers who must order products for delivery, drive to the nearest region with physical retailers or turn to the illicit market."Our Canna Cabana location in Brampton gets daily visitors from Mississauga because of that city's refusal to opt in," Omar Khan,senior vice-president of corporate and public affairs with High Tide Inc., said in an email.

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which oversees the licensing of cannabis retailers, said 66 of the province's 414 communities continue to block cannabis retail, down from 77 at the outset of legalization. The rest either did not respond, said they didn't collect such data or said they don't allow neighbourhoods to opt out of pot retail but permit them to refuse business licenses to cannabis shops.Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has said her municipality opted out because there are "too many unknowns about the retail cannabis model," while Vaughan, Ont. Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua claimed "families do not want greater access to cannabis in our community.

"You're basically, as city councillors or municipal governments, choosing to further enable the illicit market.""We don't see municipalities opting out of coffee shops or bars or nail salons," the co-founder of the Superette pot store chain said in an email. "Why should cannabis be any different?"The city is teeming with cannabis shops, particularly along Queen Street West, and many more are slated for the neighbourhood and surrounding areas.

Many believe the longer the current lopsided situation goes unaddressed, the harder it becomes for retailers to profit and take advantage of lucrative markets. During the same time period, licensed producers have laid off thousands of workers, shut down several facilities and taken multimillion-dollar writedowns as they try to align supply with demand and reach profitability.
