Big turnout for opening of first cannabis dispensary near UBC campus
A lineup formed ahead of the grand opening of UBC’s first near-campus cannabis store, Burb, on Friday morning.
While the store boasted that its opening marked the first major university campus in the country to open a cannabis retail store, a UBC spokesperson correctly stated that the location is technically off-campus.Ā
Still, it’s a lot closer than the other legal dispensaries in the area, something that some students took advantage of on Friday as they crowded inside to check out the offerings.
