He says business was brisk once the green stuff became legal at midnight with 12 orders being placed within the first nine minutes.
That had increased to 208 orders at 12:48 a.m.
Barbour says he’s not sure what the lineups will look like once stores open at 10 a.m., but that the Crown corporation is ready for anything.
Cannabis NB will use 20 standalone retail spaces scattered through 15 communities in the province.
You’ll be able to buy 59 products at Cannabis NB, although don’t expect them to have everything you want on Wednesday.
