According to the articles I've read on this, it's a nation-wide thing. Pot is now completely legal by prescription, available in pharmacies, and what's more -- once a patient has a doctor's recommendation to present to the pharmacist, they can go back and purchase more anytime they need it without a prescription!
P.S. I'm definitely going to visit B.C. one of these days!

Unfortunately, no, lol. It will be available by a doctor's recommendation only.

There are a few pot cafes in Vancouver B.C. I don't know about the rest of Canada though
they aren't legal, but are completely out in the open.
The police just ignore them.
I sure wish Pot worked for me, I'd be all over it.
Sadly, it makes me incredibly anxious.
Glad to hear the news though, it's about time.

Yeah, I know what you mean... but among the people I know, I seem to be a bit of an anomaly -- everyone else at the very least gets a little paranoid on pot, and some of them just plain can't handle it because it gives them such horrible anxiety attacks. I, on the other hand, seem to respond extremely favorably to pot, which causes me to wonder if I have some sort of deficiency in my endogenous cannabinoid system. Whatever, though -- the meds I'm on right now are working far beyond my wildest expectations, so I'm happy as is. I'm just seeing this legalization of medical cannabis as the first step in complete decriminalization, and then probably legalization (especially considering it will be available at every Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Eckerd, CVS, or whatever pharmacies it is you guys have up there! :-) And of course, with Canada (as usual) surpassing the U.S. in yet another regard, it shouldn't be long before we Yanks are forced to change the laws too.
I saw this MTV News special on marijuana a while back, and I was surprised to see all the out-in-the-open pot bars that they featured in Vancouver... my god, you people are so lucky, lol.
