agoodwinsmithThere's still only one physical legal store in BC today (Kamloops), but the BC Gov't has its online store up and running. According to the website, I am not permitted to provide a link to the store.
I am also not permitted to use any of the text of the website for any purpose any where ever, so I am paraphrasing.
paraphrase - The queen of England owns the website and she also operates it.
I wonder if Her Majesty knows.
The terms and conditions make a distinction between offer to sell and invitations to receive purchase offers.
Why is it important that the Province not be making "offers to sell", but instead "invitations to purchase"? Does an invitation rather than offer avoid the heinous sin of (dun dun duuuuun) solicitation? Gasp?
And, the online cost of one gram of loose weed is about $14.86 CAN before taxes and shipping. A one-gram pre-roll of the same weed strain is $15.99 CAN (again before taxes and shipping), and the roll includes a filter tip.[1]
I can't make up my mind whether to order some or not. :)
I will be interested to hear what various law enforcement agencies have been doing today. I wonder whether or not their activities will be covered by traditional media.
[1] - the strain I am comparing comes from the medical marijuana farm that I had previous emailed, about two/three months ago, asking whether they would be able to sell to non-medical customers. The first answer was a very pleasantly phrased "we don't know", and then when I followed up about two weeks ago, it was a very brusque "no never not not not". Why, once they knew, they couldn't have said that, while they couldn't sell directly, they were going to be supplying gov't stores, I don't know. Prolly back to the whole solicitation issue.
