  • want to come to Vancouver and do a 1 week cannabis dispensary vacation, vist shops do tours buy stuff stay in a B&B for smokers

    Answer Report Abuse
    • You will have to check the official list of where non-medical cannabis is available through privately run retail stores or government-operated retail stores and online sales. You have to 19 years or older to purchase it. You will find places like Windsor Guest House with designated smoking areas. But most of the properties may not allow marijuana smoking. I would suggest contacting the properties directly to confirm.
