					<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a version of cannabis history that gets told a lot, the one where everything changed in October 2018, when Canada flipped the switch and made it legal. Politicians took credit. Newspapers ran think pieces. Stock markets went briefly mental. But if you actually lived in British Columbia during that period, you know the real ... <a title="BC Bud Was Always Special.
