Where you can smoke, you can toke in Lethbridge (almost)
LETHBRIDGE – As of 12:01 a.m. October 17, under provincial regulations you’ll be able to smoke or vape cannabis not only in your home, but in other public spaces in Lethbridge, generally where smoking tobacco is allowed.
The exception will be in vehicles, except those being used as temporary residences, like a parked RV. Smoking pot will also be prohibited at any cannabis retail store.
While some municipalities like Taber have banned cannabis consumption anywhere but in a private residence, the City of Lethbridge will allow it, pending public feedback.
“It’s probably going to be the same as smoking cigarettes. It will be complaint based.” says Mayor Chris Spearman. “If people are inconveniencing others, generating complaints, it will be responded to…I would expect the police will respond.”
