One more excerpt from the report while i'm at it:

Implications for all Options
If the Board directs staff to initiate a bylaw amendment all future applicants will be directed to
the permitted zone and/or ALR lands for the commercial production of medical marihuana. Any
producers with licenses under the MMAR (the previous federal regulations) will be required to
cease operations after March 31, 2014 and be required to obtain a commercial license under
the new regulations (MMPR) if they wish to continue to produce medical marihuana. As the
new federal legislation is being implemented through a phased approach, some license holders
may be grandfathered under existing zoning depending on the timing of the bylaw amendments
and the timing of the issuance of federal licenses (the application form is currently online and
potential commercial producers are able to apply).
