Those looking to buy some legal weed in Guelph are going to have to wait a bit longer.

According to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario’s website, a proposal to open a cannabis retail outlet at 208 Victoria Rd. S. has been scrapped, and will now be opening in Cambridge.

The application, attached to an individual named Ralph Llacar, is now for a location at 75 Pinebush Rd., which is just south of Highway 401.

Under the rules set forth by AGCO, while applicants are to operate their cannabis retail store at the address included in their application, they can file a request to open a store at a different address “due to extenuating circumstances.”

Should this store move ahead, it would be the first in Cambridge.

The original Victoria Road application was previously on a wait list following the Aug. 20 AGCO lottery, which picked 42 names from across the province to apply for a licence to open a store.

That lottery had originally seen another entry -- submitted by an individual named John Reynolds for 120 Wyndham St. N. -- picked. However, a week later, that entry and several others were disqualified.

At the time, the AGCO cited the rule under the lottery that selected entries must submit a $50,000 standby letter of credit from a bank, show that they have the right to possession of the retail space on their application, apply for a retail operator licence and apply for retail authorization within five business days of the draw.

The Mercury Tribune has previously reported that the Wyndham Street site had been advertised as an upcoming location for HighLife, which has a store in Sudbury. As well, more than half of the entries for Guelph in the August lottery had that address listed.
