Toronto’s First Cannabis Store

Brad Hunter of the Toronto Sun interviewed Omar Ha-Redeye on the opening of The Hunny Pot Cannabis Co. in Toronto on April 1, 2019,

But among the reefer gladness, there was one man who urged cannabis caution.


Lawyer Omar-Ha-Redeye said caution is the better part of valour when it comes to pot.


“My view is that legalization is a positive thing but we have to be careful,” the legal eagle said outside the store.


Ha-Redeye pointed out that studies have shown users under 30 may be susceptible to psychosis and schizophrenia.


He said safety concerns regarding driving while stoned, working in a job using heavy equipment and law enforcement will require a more sober approach.


“I’m telling people, ‘It’s legal now, use it safely and be aware of the risk,’” he said.
