I use BC Pain Society. I didn't need a medical reference to get my membership. Just had to sign a note with a public notary stating that I wouldn't resell anything that I bought. There isn't another dispensary out there that can touch their prices either. Believe me I've looked. Free shipping with orders over $250. I don't even smoke all that much anymore. Mainly just get it for my girl. She's a pothead. For Valentine's Day I bought her a pink bong full of flowers. lol

Nice.
A few years ago I got my wife a magic flight vaporizer for Vday.

That's right where I used to live. I would walk to work and home sometimes down Pender or Hastings and never had issues, just asked for smokes and change every 3 steps. Just keep to yourself and it's fine.

It's not scary at all. Or even annoying being asked for money.

Those people are pretty harmless for the most part

But I generally feel sad for how fuked those people are

A lot of despair and desperation down there

It's the poorest postal code in Canada. I don't have concrete numbers, but I'd bet that prostitution, drug addiction and mental problem rates are among North Americas highest as well

Oh for sure. And they're getting pushed out and into a smaller area. They need a poop tonne more mental health care there and there is no funding for it. My mother in law works down there for a couple of different "homes" and my wife worked in a group home there for a few years so I have a little more sympathy than most. I haven't been for a while, but the last time I was there I was really disappointed in the new Save on Meats. I had watched a documentary on them opening it, and it seemed cool that they were employing a lot of hard up people, but it is an over priced yuppie diner.

Yep

gentrification

City officials will always claim facelifts are good for local jobs and the community, but it never ends up that way. Property values go up- and the poorest get pushed out.
Many of the developers have been extremely disingenuous about the social housing costs or cheap single occupancy rooms they've promised as well.

It's those kinds of areas that the conservative ethos of work harder, try harder, no handouts blah blah pisses me off the most. Those people have no chance without serious assistance

You can give them all the housing they need, but until there is mental health support it is pretty much pointless.

I'm not looking forward to it at all. Ticket prices are gonna skyrocket and getting to and from the games is gonna be ridiculous. Traffic is already so crazy downtown. I try to be nowhere near there during rush hour, which is now from like 3-7pm.

No. That guys so lame. He thinks he's a tough guy because he's a Mod and used Khal Drogo for an Avatar....he probably looks more like this...



- TheIronSheik


I used to love getting into it with him. I was close to being a mod myself except for my extreme dislike of micah got the better of me.

There is a guy that works at Rogers Arena in Vancouver with the name Micah, I asked if that was him...apparently the mod here is a travel agent here in the lower mainland.

You know what's (frank)ed up? eCheifs from the Islanders thread once called me ' Senor _____".

The blank was my legit last name. And no fluke neither because my last name isn't English.

Creepy as (frank).
