Online Dispensary in Richmond, BC

Richmond is built almost entirely on river silt. The city sits across Lulu Island, Sea Island and 15 smaller islands in the Fraser River delta, land that only fully stabilized around 3,500 years ago after roughly 9,500 years of sediment building up from the river. Colonel Richard Moody surveyed the area in 1861 and named Lulu Island, allegedly after a travelling showgirl named Lulu Sweet who charmed him during a visit, rather than anything more official. Farmers began settling the islands through the 1860s, and by 1879 there were enough families, about 30, to petition for incorporation as a district municipality, seven years before neighbouring Vancouver even existed as a city.

Steveston, on the southwest tip of Lulu Island, grew into a major salmon canning hub, with nearly 50 canneries operating along the Fraser by 1890 and ships arriving from around the world for Richmond’s canned salmon. An airport built on Sea Island in 1931 eventually became Vancouver International Airport. Richmond didn’t officially become a city until 1990, despite being one of the older settled areas in the region. Much of Richmond still sits below sea level, protected by an extensive dyking and pumping system. Today it’s home to over 210,000 residents. Weed Market ships to Richmond addresses the same way it does anywhere else in BC, fast, tracked and completely discreet.

What to Know About Buying Cannabis in Richmond, BC

• Richmond is one of just a handful of BC municipalities that never created zoning categories allowing cannabis retailers to obtain municipal permits, unlike neighbouring Vancouver, Burnaby or Surrey.
