Endorphins are the biggest drug in Vancouver and rightly so: it is a beautiful place to go for a run after a long day. Sometimes the freedom comes from running and sometimes it comes from something else. The biggest cash crop in the lower mainland is cannabis. Psilocybin mushrooms also grow exceptionally well here. And, as a port city, Vancouver’s opium trade is brisk.

Escape is often an uphill struggle, whether cultivated or naturally grown.
