A restaurant in East Vancouver, British Columbia is now serving customers who are over the age of 18 with a medical marijuana prescription a "special" kind of pizza. The owners of Mega ILL Cafe are encouraging people to BYOC (bring your own cannabis) and are even providing vaporizers to use free of charge.
Mark Klokeid is one of the owners of Mega ILL Cafe and he told CTV News that, "We're pot friendly. You have to bring your own marijuana in here, but if you want to medicate your pizza we will do that for you if you have an exemption."
It is looking to be the first pizzeria-vapor lounge. You can have pot-infused oil drizzled onto your pizza for an additional $10. Anthony Risling is an employee at Mega ILL Cafe and he said that it takes about a half an hour for the effects of the pizza to actually kick in.
