The Lantzville man who has positioned a firetruck along the Island highway to act as a giant cannabis dispensary advertisement is being sued by the district of Lantzville.
On his two-acre property at 7890 Clark Drive West, Stanley Pottie has set up a cannabis dispensary in a yellow modular home and rolled his firetruck to the edge of the property so that drivers heading south into Nanaimo can see the banners touting “Country Buds Dispensary."
That dispensary, a smaller trailer and two “deck structures” were erected without a building permit, the District of Lantzville says in a notice of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court. The firetruck is breaking traffic bylaws by being on the highway right of way, the lawsuit says.
