Looking to move near Vancouver

[A Scanner Darkly]

I currently live in Elgin, IL (near Chicago), but I'm looking to move to Canada, as you've no doubt guessed by now.

I don't want to live in Vancouver, but near it. Does anyone know of any rural-ish towns near Vancouver and some housing rates to go along?

Oh, also, I'll be looking into growing mj in or near this eventual residence -- so include any known info on coolness about weed in the area.

in burnaby and surrey depending what kinda place n how big u want the shit you can find decent places for like 600 - 1000

I want something less modernized and more naturey (ha! what word am I looking for that means the same thing?) than a typical American suburbia (where am at right now).

Cool.

I just don't want a place with a lot of houses or businesses, or roads for that matter. Something really backroads but nice-looking.

lol so many requirements!

San Juan Islands.

Aren't those technically part of Washington?

Would they then be subject to American drug laws? I'm looking to get a medical mj license.

If i were you and wanted to get into the growing business near Vancouver i would suggest either the gulf islands or the sun shine coast. Both are quite chill places with a very high tolerance for cannabis. :jointsmile:

I've been researching BC religiously for a couple months now...I'm pretty sure I'm headed for Richmond. It's right next to Vancouver but is not as busy/populated/expensive. My bf and I are taking a trip up there this august to make sure it's cool. There are actually quite a few cities all around Vancouver, just do some research...I've got a ton of bookmarks, just pm me.
