At this week's Monday morning meeting, Kelowna council got the chance to discuss the city's proposals for marijunana legalization.
For the report, city staff from multiple departments were consulted on things ranging from minimum age to the method of retail sales.
Right now, it's recommending that the minimum age be at least 19 years old, if not older.
It also says the limits for personal possession should match federal guidelines, which would be 30 grams for an adult.
Anyone underage caught with up to 5 grams would avoid charges, but have it confiscated.
City staff say they'd like to see smoking banned outside of the home, or at least contained to specific areas, like cigarettes.
On the topic of home growing, Kelowna is also proposing that BC follow the federal plan for a home to be limited to 4 plants that don't grow over a meter in height.
But it also says this should be regulated with permits, and that rules should restrict people's ability to keep them inside the home.
A big question has been where the city would come in on retail and sales - and whether it supports a public, government-operated approach, compared to licensed private retailers.
Staff say they'd like to see the province act as the distributor for retailers, but that it doesn't have a problem with private dispensaries getting licenses to sell.
What the city does want control of, is the size of those retail stores, and where they're located, especially in relation to schools and parks.
Staff also recommended the province set a standard for the minimum distance between marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores
