Put that in your Pipe and smoke it!
As a result of the recently passed Bill 128 in Ontario, a former marijuana grow house at 1218 Centre St. in Vaughan has been reduced to dust and rubble as of Tuesday, a first for York Region.
The decision to demolish was the result of the estimated $200,000 required to fix the home. Bill 128 requires the municipality to inspect the property after it is notified by police that it was used to grow marijuana, Community Safety and Correctional Services spokesperson Tony Brown said. If they determine the building is unsafe, municipal officials can order the owner to do remedial work to make it safe.In Vaughan, that means the owner must work with the city to ensure building codes, fire codes and property standards are met.“It’s no longer acceptable for you to get a gallon of bleach, some latex paint and move on,” Vaughan Fire Chief Greg Senay said. To put this in context, there are no provincewide standards for fixing up former marijuana grow ops right now. Because it is up to individual municipalities to determine and impose standards, the conditions of these places can differ depending on what community you live in.
