Vol. 92 No. 6 Agreement # 40011922 PROUDLY SERVING MELVILLE AND SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1929 • WWW.MELVILLEADVANCE.COM Some businesses not keen to sell marijuana By Jason G. Antonio Advance Reporter Once marijuana is legalized in July, one Melville business could be the recipient of the licence to sell cannabis without fear of a police crackdown. The Melville Advance spoke with a couple of busi- nesses to determine if they would be interested in selling marijuana legally in town. VapeVille VapeVille on Main Street has “100 per cent no intention” of pursuing the marijuana licence, said Donna Ellert, who co-owns the business with her husband, Roy. “We have been approached by many Melville peo- ple, but we want to stay with vaping,” she said. The Ellerts don’t want to mix the products since they are different. They have customers ranging in age from 18 to 80 and want to provide them with an alternative to smoking. The Ellerts aren’t interested in chasing away their customers. “We have no issue with (marijuana) but we’d like it to be someone else’s problem,” Ellert said. Ellert hopes city council votes in favour of allowing Melville to receive a licence to sell marijuana. Even if Resident Jordan Sinclair stopped by Melville Community Works on Jan. 16 to give his 20th blood donation, during Canadian such a business doesn’t open, the option will be there %ORRG6HUYLFH·VUHJXODUFOLQLFLQ0HOYLOOH0RUHWKDQUHVLGHQWVUROOHGXSWKHLUVOHHYHVWRJLYHWKHJLIWRIOLIH in the future.
