The Prince Edward Island RCMP has fined people $20,200 for the alleged unauthorized sale or distribution of cannabis at a store. Police say they issued four fines over eight days to the Mniku Trading Post in Scotchfort. “RCMP remind Islanders that the only legal way to purchase cannabis in PEI is at a sanctioned Cannabis PEI location,” said Cpl. Gavin Moore in an RCMP news release. “Just like the sale of alcohol and tobacco, cannabis sales are regulated for customer safety. “Unauthorized cannabis shops can often sell products that have not been inspected or have THC content that is many times more that what can legally be sold. This poses a serious threat to anyone who might take these products.” The investigation is ongoing. For more P.E.I. news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
