No green mushroom cloud hung over the two south Calgary strip malls containing Nova Cannabis and Four20 Premium Market, the only cannabis stores authorized to sell in the city on Oct. 17. “This is kind of like Black Friday shopping, if you think about it,” said Krystal Davis, another shopper standing outside Four20. He was in the first batch of around 25 customers allowed in to Nova Cannabis on Wednesday morning. Thirteen years later, the longtime Calgary cannabis advocate sat in a wheelchair holding a banner alongside a half-dozen others on Wednesday afternoon. But to those lined up outside Calgary’s two cannabis stores on Wednesday, it was still a fundamentally weird experience.
