A cannabis store in BC has been ordered to pay a $1,000 fine for selling cannabis at too low of a price.
Cost Cannabis in Revelstoke, BC was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine after it was ruled in a hearing in October that it had violated provincial rules that prevent a retailer from selling cannabis at a price below the price that the licensee paid to the government for the cannabis, and below the wholesale price of the cannabis on the day the licensee sells it to the patron.
A Notice of Enforcement Action (NOEA) issued to the business alleged that on April 22, 2024, BC’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) received a complaint that the retailer was advertising all products and accessories in the store were for sale at 50% off.
Following that report, an LCRB inspector conducted an inspection of the store on April 25. In the report, the inspector noted that they had asked about four specific products, and the staff member they spoke with confirmed that their sale prices were lower than their list prices.
