No actually, that isn't accurate at all.
I go to a store that has multiple locations throughout the city. Consider that, for a moment.
A well lit store front with regular staff members franchised out to various parts of the city paying about 8 bucks a gram.
The pot shops in Vancouver are as nice as any of the cold beer and wine stores. I went retail specifically because I could pay the same prices as out of Terry's Honda civic, but I could deal with an actual, registered business.
There are 100+ LICENSED BUSINESSES in vancouver that sell pot. Those licenses now have to be renewed under the new regulations, but there are more than 100 of them waiting on the red tape to clear. That's not even the lower mainland, that's within the boundaries of the city of vancouver.
It's a big fail on launch day.
