Q: Are there smart shops/coffee shops in Vancouver that are simular to Amsterdam?
A: No, marijuana isn't legal here, or in Canada. I don't know why people think that. But you are legally allowed to have some - three grams I think - I could be wrong. However, there is the BCMP (British Columbia Marijuana Party) Vapour Lounge, you can use a vaporizer for $5. It's on west Hastings.
Q: Vancouver B.C. Coffee shops?
Im doing a presentation on Tourism in Vancouver and I was wondering if anyone knows where and/or how many marijuana coffee shops there are. Any legit help would be appreciated. Im getting mixed results on internet search engines.
A: There are quite a few on the "Pot Block" on E Hastings. Pop into one of the cafes (in broad daylight with a friend) and they can tell you how many are around town or direct you to someone who can. You might also want to stop by the Vancouver Art Gallery tomorrow afternoon since there is going to be a huge rally. Speak to an organizer and see if you can pick up any flyers.

Q: What does vancouver need more of?
Business wise,what'd needed in vancouver? Coffee shops,health food store,etc... I'd like to start something eco friendly,vegetarian and such.
A: vegan lunch spot that delivers and serves great coffee, with live music evenings/weekends, include a wine bar,
Q: how much does a barista make at starbucks or Blenz in Vancouver?
I am just wondering how much people make at coffee shops around Vancouver? What about managers?
A: Well, technically, everyones caught on to Starbuck's and now, every Starbuck's is rich. It really doesn't matter where you are at, every single one has enough money. I don't know about you, but I am totally against Starbuck's because who needs an overpriced drink when there are many alternatives. Think about it, I enjoy the Rockstar Roasted and the Java Monsters, they vary in flavor and you get more for your few dollars, than a 6 dollar 8 ounce frozen frapacino, latte, etc. You see, It's easier not to worry about Starbuck's and just head over to a nearby store to get some Java Monsters. Hope I gave your mind a second thought on Starbuck's
Q: Can I find a "coffee" shop in Whistler or should I stock up in Vancouver before I go skiing this April?
A: if by "coffee" you mean "salad"
then consider that Whistler is primarily a tourist town and by the laws of supply and demand, EVERYTHING is more expensive there..
.. so if you're on a budget - yes, score your smoke in Van.
there's a good "coffee shop" on 300 block West Hastings
Q: Are the police lax in enforcement for pot and mushrooms in Vancouver?
I read that at the coffee shops New Amsterdam and Blunt brothers that people could smoke pot there and be left alone. Has anyone been to these places in Vancouver? And if so are they as lax as with mushrooms as well? Holland is following the worldwide crackdown on this fungus and I'm hoping that Vancouver still has some freedom left.
A: I have. They are not so "lax" with mushrooms... I can imagine. Thats a completely different category of drug.
The only reason they operate the way they do, is because the old mayor agreed to allow these to operate. (Pretty sure blunt bros burnt down) They do not sell drugs there, you have to purchase a min. amount of food to hang out there and smoke pot - and you cannot have more than an eighth.
Q: How can I bring Starbucks down?
I own a tiny coffee shop in Vancouver.
I want to expand it like Starbucks did.
What are some ways to expand my store worldwide, but in the same time bring Starbucks down?
A: Build the same type of atmosphere,but actually sell good coffee.
Q: What is the legal working age in Vancouver?
I'm not talking about a paper route etc., I'm meaning like working at Safeway or a coffee shop or whatever.
A: Since the Campbell government changed the rules, there is no true 'minimum' age; however, most places won't hire under 15 unless you appear very mature for your age. New regulations for young workers require extra training and supervision.
Q: Does your local Starbucks charge for Wi-Fi?
Sat down at a Starbucks the other day to have a cup of coffee and goof around on the internet. I’ve done this quite a few times before at coffee shops from Vancouver to Edmonton to Puerto Vallarta and this is the first time that the coffee shop charged me for the Wi-Fi hook-up. Isn’t it enough that I’m over paying for a mediocre cup of coffee? Is this normal ($7.50 an hour), or is it just my local Starbucks?
A: did you have fun, that what counts
Q: I have a plan, but need help with the details and stuff please :)?
right so up till a few weeks ago, i was all set to start a psychology course the year after next at uni, after i finish this year doing a levels, then a gap year in fiji.
but now i think i won't be completely happy doing uni for 7 years (3 years normal, then 4 years psychology doctorate) and i would prefer to work my way round the world, places like australia, america, canada, and other parts of europe like france, spain etc.
then when i want to settle down i'd move to a place like Vancouver and open a totally vegan cafe/coffee shop (i know it's a small market, but it would also be marketed as a healthy coffee shop)
i'd just like to know how i would go about working in different countries when i'm from england, i'd only be working in restaurants or shops etc, and if the coffee shop idea is good
i know it's my life, i just want to be happy :)
cheers xx
i mean, i don't want to go to uni any more....
A: That sounds like a brilliant plan! As an EU citizen, you are eligible to work anywhere in the EU without a Visa, although you will find getting work outside of major cities not very straightforward. Also, consider learning some of the language; you will find it makes getting employment far simpler.
With Australia, you can get a working holiday visa (http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/), and then find work when you get there. Spend your first few nights in a hostel, as they will have details of lots of job opportunities.
As a general rule, wherever you get somewhere new, stay in a hostel to acclimatise yourself, as they have loads on info and resources.
For different visa programmmes in different countries, use BUNAC http://www.bunac.org/uk/
With the cafe/coffee shop idea, it sounds lovely, but do bear in mind that you will struggle to get a permit to live and work in the states, particularly without a degree.
If you are really set on doing it in America, then I would recommend setting up contacts with people there, and also getting a lot of experience so that you are desirable person to have in the country.
Look at http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/ for more details.
If you are flexible about where you set up such a place, you might want to consider somewhere in Europe, or somewhere in the commonwealth, where getting permission to stay will be easier.
