Hey all, if you are from the beautiful Vancity, let me know! We probably have lots in common, or at the very least, lots to talk about. Who else knows what the "pot block" is, for example!

i am from vancouver, what is the pot block? lol
it sounds like you need a lesson in vancouver pot culture! totally get the book Bud Inc. it tells you everything you need to know about what goes on in vancouver with respect to pot.
to humor you, the pot block is an area around hastings street and cambie, where there are a bunch of pot-related stores. there is two stores that sell seeds, the marijuana party headquarters (aka the cannabis culture HQ- the magazine), and the amsterdam cafe. there was also another store that used to be around, but it burnt down.
go vancouver
can't wait to hit this BC stuff
i'm from Montreal, but the beginning of Feb.
i'll be heading out to Victoria
might even see some fellow members lol
if you come out to van make sure that you, at least once, buy one kick ass oz. The best shit around should be like 180$. you'll love it.
might be hard to find.
you should read this book: Bud Inc. It's great. It'll help you out a lot when you come out
how far is the pot block from the airport??
in a different city...
but not far, even on tranist.
you want to find the 98 B-line. From Richmond to Vancouver. The bLine is a great bus comes every 2-3 min during rush hour. it'll take you 4 blocks away. The pot block is on Hastings at Cambie.
hey thanks a lot man! im def. gonna check it out when i get into Vancouver!! Im heading up to Whistler so hopefully ill be able to score an oz. or so..Quote:

what are the names of the shops that i should check out? i know of the new amsterdam cafe but thats it.. any help
So which do you recommend? Can you PM me the directions? I'd be grateful and no, I'm not a cop.
the forum dosn't have aPM function
and you will be banned for asking for weed.
Vancouver is the easiest city on earth to find weed.
Just follow your green sense
Sorry about that. I tried today to no avail on the pot block. Might go back later but I guess I'm too much of a pussy to walk around the Eastside and ask people if they sell weed.
None of the stores on the Pot block sell weed. That area is controled by the Hells Angles. Which really you shouldn't support.
Check your User CP at top of page
is it true that there is some building next to one of these shops that you can go into and buy your herb or mush or whatever it is your looking for just as long as its not a "hard" drug?
there are several to my knowledge, just ask around. Dont bother asking the people working there
really? the people working arent helpful or what?
the people are helpful, but they aren't going to risk going to jail just so you can get your fix, ya know?. you can buy mushrooms, and salvia, and some other legal hallucinogens at a store on the pot block (the pot block btw, refers to multiple stores in that area hence 'block' not just the amsterdam cafe)....they don't sell weed, and they don't openly sell shrooms either. they are always stayin safe from the cops, like they get mad at you if you so much as jay-walk in front of their store. So ya the people there are really helpful, but they're not gonna risk goin to jail for you, so don't ask outright about buying drugs there. Also, don't buy from the H.A. our efforts as personal growers is working to end organized crime, so please dont support it.

whatshappenin people
amsterdam/mary j hq os the shit...every been the to vapor lounge??? 5 bucks is bullshit, but i dont think anyone gives a fuck about it after they pay it n get faded like fuck
the urban shaman sells some fucked up shit (fucked in a good way)
I've been wanting to try the Vapo Lounge... recommended?
deffinatly
vapours = the g.o.a.t
I'm in Mission
:cool:
and i am in surrey, right outside of vancouver....
opps
I like the Vape Lounge and 5$ is quite reasonable.
and they could clearly change more with 200+ people coming through some days
remember a Volcano costs ~$600 so thats 120 people before they pay 1 off
Its by far the best vape lounge in Vancouver. hopefuly more will start popping up around the city. i hope to start one... one day
^^unless the popos raid the shit like they did to that cafe on commercial
we'll it's a completely different issue
the cafe on commercial was selling ~$5000 of dope a day
as well as hash and food...
that is agaisnt the law
having a vape lounge isn't illegal. the people possessing could be charged but not the store
High everyone! Ok, so I was planning on moving to Van in a couple years, I'd go now but I need a job and money. So, no go, right? Well I've been job hunting lately and decided to apply to a few positions on the some Vancouver job boards. I seriously didn't think I'd get more than a "Thanks for the interest, call us when you actually live here" response. But no! This morning the very impressed manager of a loan co. in downtown Vancouver interviewed me over the phone and wants me to go up (I'm in so cali) next week to make sure I like it there! So holy crap! 2 years turned into a little over 2 weeksish!!! I've been researching Canada intensely for well over 6 months and I know for sure that I want to make it my home, but the ones who live there know it best. Any advice? Tips? Warnings?
Sorry for the length but any info would be greatly appreciated...thanks everyone!!!!
^ I think you're gonna like Vancouver. I have a bunch of family in Southern Cali and they always be coming up here. They always just drone on about how great it is here.
Anyway, in terms of pot, it's pretty accepted if you use some common sense. Don't do it around cops, don't do it in the middle of a playground during the day, that kind of stuff. But virtually nobody cares if you're minding your own business. If you do happen to get in trouble with cops just be cool and upfront, they sometimes don't care either.
I went throuigh a road block a few weeks ago, the cop stuck his head in my car to smell, sniffed around and said 'well it's not alcohol, have a good night'. The car reeked of weed because the stupid dealer didn't have zipper bags to give me, just sandwich bags.
Anyway that's it for the smoking aspect of it. If you're gonna be living downtown then everything is pretty accesible and easy to find. Granville is the club/bar hotspot and Robson is the shopping hotspot.
I guess the Pot Block is definitely worth a visit. New Amsterdam Cafe is really clean and nicely decorated, great place for a little smoke. Emery's place next door is more ghetto but they have Volcano vapes and also you can meet the so-called Prince of Pot if you're lucky.
Also plan on smoking a lot during the long, rainy days of which there are many. Or you could cook or knitt if you're into those domestic hobbies instead. Bottom line: Lots of rain but at least it's warm(ish).
dude y wuld u even buy weed from the H.A. i have and its just shit they mainly sell coke man, if ur lookin for chronic get it from the indians they always have the chronic:pimp:
thanks Koofteh...good info. i'll be there for my 1st time on the 14th and 15th yay!! prolly moving the last week of aug...can't wait:D
Nice, let's hope the weather gets nicer. It's way too cold right now.
hey guys new user to the forum...
I'm from San Francisco but I'm visiting family here in Surrey/Vancouver until wednesday... planning to take the skytrain to the "potblock" and visit new amsterdam cafe. I'm excited! All your posts have been helpful along w/ my researching...
just curious... it should be pretty easy to find people selling around downtown right? i wanna make sure i can access some before i go inside new amsterdam cafe to chill out for a bit.
good luck to you my friend...i tried several times and no luck! this vancity vacation is turning out to be a sobriety trip...bummers:mad:
i should add tho im a 22 yo asian university student with a clean cut and here in vancouver i guess my kind dont get much recognition for a stoner. also im too much of a pussy to just go up to strangers and ask...after it failed once i fleeeed home lol
kev i was just at new amsterdam cafe yesterday, and next door was selling! i got a tip from some guy and just followed up ... that place that sells seeds, you'll notice a bunch of guys just going in and out... when u come up and they ask you if you've been there before "say yeah u have" and there'll be a room in the 2nd floor and you just go in and pay some guy at the desk and he gives you a bag! it was $10 / gram when i went yesterday... i had lots of fun over there and got to meet some nice people... the bad thing is i was too high to take a picture of the place and to buy some souvenirs! haha so i'm going back today and gonna get that taken care of as i return to san francisco tonight... good luck kev, and thank you vancouver!
kev i'm asian too... that shouldnt stop you from doing what you wanna do... no color boundaries man! one love
thanks man! i know what u mean about getting too high there hahah
