They can talk about bans all they want in Richmond. Once its legal, its legal, and even when ""You've got a place like Richmond that has a huge Chinese population – which is very anti-drug, period ". It won' t matter. 

Also is that a chinese population or a canadian population, because last I checked we lived in Canada, and unless they are citizens, they have absolutely no say. They are free to sell and leave if they don't like Canadian laws. Also, quite hypocritical of them in Richmond, are they jumping to ban Alcohol, a drug, too?
