Well, I know back in Alberta, you had to be 18 or older just to enter the shop. The main reason was younger kids, high school kids, were coming in there and asking people for hookups. Then it lead to the kids waiting outside the door, then that stopped, so they put up a sign saying you had to be 18 or older just to enter the shop.

But here in Vancouver now, high school kids go in and out all the time. They can look, but you need to be 18yrs or older to buy.

The high school kids here are much different though. They're not so, needy or are bothering you to find "stuff" for them. They're all pretty mature, probably because weed is everywhere here, and they're not being a bother to other people. It's pretty chill and I don't mind window shopping and bullshitting with them while I look around. They don't whisper to me, "hey man, you know where to get this and that" like back home.
