Cannabis dispensary opens on UBC campus border and it's a first
Editor’s note: An earlier version stated this dispensary is on-campus, but it’s been corrected to reflect the store is on the border.
UBC students will now be able to walk to get their weed after a cannabis dispensary opened near campus for the first time ever.
The Burb Cannabis Corp. is no stranger to the province, as the UBC retail store will mark its eighth location in BC.
The new Burb’s UBC store opens on Friday, February 23 at 10 am at 5784 University Blvd in Vancouver.
If you are among the first 50 guests to enter its grand opening, you will receive an exclusive accessory.
“So come celebrate with us and enjoy music from a local DJ, snacks from Lucky’s and free pizza,” Burb encouraged.

Customers will find that the new location has a curated menu from flowers, pre-rolls and concentrates to topicals, edibles and more.
“Our focus is on offering the best menu possible, with exclusive products you’ll only find at Burb, such the Jellee hand-rolled hash-holes, Book Club Exclusives and limited run merchandise and accessories,” said Peter Pittson, general manager at Burb UBC.
Burb’s exclusive UBC apparel line will also be available at Friday’s event.

This will also be the last store the company can open in the province since the government has a retail cap for a single brand.
Burb operates cannabis stores in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Vancouver, and Victoria.
After the grand opening, the store will operate Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 11 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 10 pm.
