On Sunday, July 16, my daughter and I were in Vancouver for work and stopped off at the Starbucks on Main and Broadway. There was open drug use in the parking lot by numerous individuals. Two were passed out.
The Starbucks had no items on the shelves, instead being replaced by pictures of items. No condiments or even napkins on display. A clerk told me that every time they put things out, they would be stolen by the likes of those we witnessed in the parking lot.
Clearly decriminalization is working.
