ulfistgut 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 Hello all. I will be spending 3 weeks in your country next month and I've heard various stories about the legality/illegality of cannabis in Canada. Haven't been able to find any specific information myself so I thought i'd see if I can get the information straight from people who'd definately know (residents ). So, whats the deal? I've heard of amsterdam style coffee shops except you can't buy anything there and you have to stay inside special rooms until 4.20 (or when the health police get off work). That sounds weird and confuses me. Can you recommend nice coffee shops (if they do exist)? I'll be hitting a large portion of the major cities (Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Edmonton). Basically any general information on the subject would be much appreciated. When I went to Amsterdam I noticed there was various 'politeness' and niceties about the subject and to avoid appearing like an ignorant tourist I thought best to get clued up before hand.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted May 9, 2004 The best one in Vancouver (Blunt Brothers) just burnt down unfortunetly. You're better off just going to The Vancouver Public Library where all the protesters are and score shit there. Everyone's doing it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted May 9, 2004 Banff is great but you gotta check out Barkerville. It's a gold mining town in Alberta, it's a cool tour. With a authenitc whore house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2004 If you're in Toronto check out the Cannabis shops called The Friendly Stranger and Shanti Baba. They sell all sorts of bongs and pipes. While you're there, ask them about the Hotbox Cafe. It's a secret smoke shop in Toronto that has a hidden back room from where you can blaze. I myself have never been so I can't give you the exact location but the people at the shops may know. Or they may throw you out because you're asking about weed which does sometimes make shopowners paranoid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ulfistgut 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Haven't planned anywhere exact to go yet, flying into Vancouver and out of Halifax and I've got 3 weeks to get from one to the other. I was definately planning to go to Banff anyway, extra drug prospects make it sound more fun So the setup is basically that you buy from dealers but it's OK to smoke in some coffee shops? And thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
