In the meantime, I really think BC's decision to have only one store open is a mistake. There are people, like myself, who really WANT to make legal purchases but because I'm so far away from Kamloops, my only option is online. Given how the US Border Patrol is currently dealing with Canadians who partake, or have done so in the past, and knowing that our credit card information is stored in the US, as well as not knowing where the BC Government's db info is going to be stored......ensures that lots of people will NOT purchase online. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious, I dunno, but I might like to visit the US again someday, and I don't want their access to that information to hinder that. Perhaps the Trump administration will ease restrictions in the near future as has been suggested, and this will no longer be an issue.
The least the BC Government could have done was have 3 stores open, one in Kamloops, one in the Lower Mainland, and one on the freakin' Island!
**not sure if I'm adding urls properly, apologies if there's a better way! Still learning. Edited to add 'their access to'
