Pot Sales Down By Nearly 70 Per Cent On Day 2 Of Legalization In British Columbia

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Oct, 2018 12:58 PM
    VANCOUVER — The high didn't last for long as British Columbia residents bought nearly 70 per cent less cannabis on the second day of legalization.
     
     
    The BC Liquor Distribution Branch says when marijuana became legal Wednesday there were 9,175 sales online and 805 purchases at the province's only physical store in Kamloops.
     
     
    The next day there were 2,563 online transactions and 521 at the BC Cannabis Store.
     
     
    The branch is not releasing the total value of the sales, which it says is its policy for liquor store sales as well.
     
     
    Several products on the website remain sold out.
     
     
    Spokeswoman Viviana Zanocco of the distribution branch has said several licensed producers did not ship their full product commitment in time for legalization.
