If everything goes according to plan, Daryl Robinson will open his first retail cannabis store in Edmonton this summer.
Herbal Headquarters will sell a variety of cannabis products for treating pain. Robinson said his store on 124th Street and 103rd Avenue will be the first of five he expects to open within the next year in Alberta, if the federal government legalizes cannabis by the end of the summer.
First, he has to finish a lengthy cannabis licensing process with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission.
"Basically, the process was pretty grueling," Robinson said. "I expected it to be a little extensive and invasive, I just didn't realize how invasive it was going to be."
