Cambridge businesses unhappy with new Vape Guys shop

A new shop has opened its doors on Ainslie Street in Cambridge.

Signs indicate it is a “Vape Guys” store, but it’s actually believed to be operated by FunGuyz, a magic mushroom dispensary with locations across Canada.

CTV News reached out to FunGuyz for confirmation. The company only responded with a phone number which no one answered. During previous communications with the controversial company, representatives would only comment using an alias.

Even though the signage indicates Vape Guys is opening soon, neighbouring businesses say they’ve already seen customers going in and out of that location.

While that hasn’t been an issue so far, they’d still like to see the store go. One business owner, who did not want to be identified, said Vape Guys doesn’t drive traffic to the area.

Meantime, the Waterloo Regional Police Service promised to keep a close eye on the Ainslie Street location.

“We would like to remind the public that the sale of psilocybin is a criminal offence,” they said in a statement to CTV News. “Businesses engaged in selling these products are operating unlawfully, and the substances they offer are neither regulated nor subject to standardized quality control measures. We will continue to investigate complaints and take enforcement action where appropriate to ensure compliance with federal legislation.”
