Online Dispensary in Prince Rupert, BC

Prince Rupert exists because railway president Charles Melville Hays wanted a west coast port closer to Asia than Vancouver, and in 1904 he chose Kaien Island as the western terminus for his Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. Hays planned an entire metropolis to rival Vancouver and Seattle, complete with a grand hotel called the Chateau Prince Rupert, and lots in the new townsite sold fast enough in 1909 to triple the population almost overnight. Then in April 1912, Hays died aboard the Titanic on his way back from London, and his ambitious vision for the city never fully recovered, the Chateau’s foundations were poured but the hotel itself was never built.

The railway finally reached completion in 1914, decades behind schedule and far over budget, and Prince Rupert settled into a smaller role as a working port and fishing town instead of the rival metropolis Hays imagined. Its 14-mile natural harbour remains the third deepest ice-free harbour in the world, and the city still serves as the terminus for BC and Alaska ferry routes. Prince Rupert is located in Ts’msyen territory, and over half its residents today identify as First Nations, one of the highest such proportions of any city in Canada. Today the population sits around 12,000. Weed Market ships to Prince Rupert addresses the same way it does anywhere else in BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
