As Mike Babins opened one of Vancouver's first two legal pot shops on Saturday, he showed little concern about the many illegal retailers still competing with him for customers. The province says it has referred 232 applications, but only six licences have been issued, including Evergreen and two City Cannabis locations in Vancouver. City Cannabis opened its location on Fraser Street on Saturday and said it plans to open its Robson location soon. City Cannabis Co. has officially opened its Fraser St. Theirs is one of the first legal pot shops to open in the city.
