Trick or trip - pot not an acceptable treat alternative
By Trail Champion
On Oct. 31, at 8:58 p.m., a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officer received a report about teenagers being offered Cannabis by a 40-to-50-year-old man in the1700 block of Noran Street in Trail, according to RCMP Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
“The teenagers were trick-or-treating when they approached a residence on Noran Street,” Wicentowich said. “A man at the residence allegedly told them that he had no candy left then offered cannabis instead. The man has not yet been identified.”
Supplying a minor under 19-years-old with cannabis is illegal under Section 69(2) of the BC Cannabis Control and Licensing Act.
The investigation is ongoing.
“Trail RCMP would like to speak to anyone with information about this incident, or who knows the identity of the man who offered Marihuana to the teenagers. Anyone supplying someone under 19-years-old with Marihuana may received a $575 fine,” Wicentowich said.
