‘Lot of Sad Faces’ On Final Day For Pot Shops

While most Vernon pot shops will be closed Wednesday — one will be open — and expects to have lots of people coming in.

Herb’s Healing Centre owner Russ Stevenson will be giving away cannabis to his existing medical customers, just charging them the tax, to keep it as legal as possible.

“I expect somebody (legal authority like police) to come in and have a chat with me, (but) I don’t actually expect to be in handcuffs out of this.”

Stevenson says his protest is a show of support for his clients who depend on marijuana for their health.
