Best Answer - Chosen by Voters As an eighth a day pot smoker living in the suburbs around vancouver and constantly getting stoned in and around it... Yes there is a very large community of stoners, especially down around hastings st, downtown burnaby, surrey, and Port coquitlam! Vancouver is kind of known as the Amsterdam of North America, so I'd have to say yes. It's not actually legal there, but the town is famous for its permissive atmosphere. Some laws are important in some places, and some aren't.
