Cindy Pendergast of Sidney’s Truth and Alibi made what was believed to be the first legal delivery of cannabis in British Columbia last week.

The delivery of cannabis became legal the morning of July 15 and Pendergast made sure the product – CBD cream – arrived at 9 a.m. sharp at the nearby house of a Sidney couple who had ordered it.

“In keeping with our 1930s Prohibition theme, we had a 1938 motorcycle sidecar deliver the first order,” Pendergast said. “We had a blast and we had people all over waving and yelling and following the motorcycle sidecar.”
