    Here’s a question for you. How many canadians also grow their own now and dont buy any?

    If quality has been a concern – please consider looking for product from Greenman Acres in Meaford, ONT. They are a small cultivator of premium 100% organic cannabis. It’s legitimate product, by a great team. Their mission is simple: capture the client the old fashioned way – earn their respect.

    $5 "Black Market" weed? Who’s this guy buying from?



  8. Shady Kitty on September 5, 2023 at 12:50 am

    and there would be no black market if it was never made illegal in the first place



  9. Dave Krochenski on September 5, 2023 at 12:53 am

    Nope, no more weed for this guy.

    Justin Trudeau… now that cannabis is legal not many more people use cannabis.

    Now make it legal to hire and fire whoever you want unless there’s a safety issue.

    Less government is often better.

    Really? $15 a gram on the black market? I’ve never paid more than $10. Right now I’m paying around $7.

    I think the added temporary interneuronal synapse connections thanks to cannabis and especially the psychedelics are literal wiring upgrades to our brains that can be made permanent through normal neuroplasticity learning. These new connections give parts of our brains new access to both our current sensory perceptions, heightening them and making us more appreciative of everything we experience, while also giving parts of our brains new access to memories making even our memories heightened with literally new mental perspectives on them (explaining ‘flashbacks’). It’s like a physical empathy, giving our brains the ability to have new and more diverse perspectives on everything, past and present.

    These substances widely have the reputation as creativity-enhancers but I think actually they’re empathy-enhancers creating new perspectives, giving artists greater ability to imagine how a wider audience will perceive their work while it’s in progress, making it more creative as a result.

    Legalize, release, expunge and give industry advantages to the minorities most harmed.

    Black market weed is just as expensive for quality only difference is you CAN get super super cheap stuff if you want



  15. MayorBrown on September 5, 2023 at 1:19 am

    Just make the weed cheaper and we will buy it legally



  16. Under A Bridge Too Far on September 5, 2023 at 1:20 am

    Glad to see there is now 5$/g option now, with SQDC anyways

    16% of Canadians use marijuana, you may want to fact check that one. I have a hard time finding anyone in Canada who doesn’t smoke weed under the age of 45
