you can't buy in stores but "blunt brothers" on east hastings st. has (had?) a toking room where people go into for catching a buzz and discussing whatever...e. hastings will be the place to go for that type of stuff but it has toned down a lot over the past few years and no longer is as open as it once was. stanley park is another one of the old hangouts and not far from hastings and the downtown area. contact the sativa sisters and the new amsterdam bed & breakfast...they can fill you in on the current situation and put you up in their awesome b&b!

another good place to check out the scene there without actually going is at www.cannabisculture.com
it's marc emery's site and an online hangout for bc locals...
