Vancouver gets first licensed pot shop as B.C. lags behind other provinces
VANCOUVER — A licensed marijuana store is set to open in Vancouver as the number of legal pot shops in British Columbia still lags behind other provinces.
Evergreen Cannabis owner Mike Babins said the store received its provincial licence this week and plans to open its doors on Saturday.
As long as it receives a municipal licence, it will be the first legal store in the city since recreational cannabis was legalized on Oct. 17.
