In Creston BC, Julia Middlebrook, 20, received her license to begin selling REC on April 30. Creston is a small town of 5,300 near the US border.
- Unlike some municipalities, which have resisted REC retail, Creston supported Middlebrook, and no one in the community protested her store opening.
- Santé Cannabis co-founder Adam Greenblatt noted, “Meanwhile in Quebec it will soon be illegal for a 20 year old to buy cannabis.”
