Vancouver police say they are putting an end to an open-air marijuana market that sprung up and grew in a busy downtown plaza, fuelling concern among residents. “In short, we’ve given ample warnings to those who are involved in this illegal activity,” Deputy Chief Howard Chow told a news conference Tuesday. But Chow disputed that argument, saying there is no shortage of places to buy marijuana in Vancouver. Chow said that won’t change the legal issues facing pot sales on Robson Square. “We aren’t expecting on July 2 that it’s open season to have tables where you can sell large quantities of marijuana,” he said.
