It seems coffeeshops will not be able to sell lighters, t-shirts, and other souvenirs bearing their name or a leaf. Other restrictions include the use of a leaf or suggestion of cannabis in their name or logo. Present ones which sell both alcohol and cannabis will have to choose between them to stay in business.

Walking through the Wallen one does realize the amount of money that could be made if the RLD were to be gentrified and turned into condo's. Various "cleanup" rumors abound.

So, locals, please clue us on what is going on and where it is likely to go, and I thought that the city had recently elected liberal, progressive types and this is what they pursue?
