Despite cannabis industry woes, Canada remains the largest exporter of legal marijuana in the world
Despite cannabis industry woes, Canada remains the largest exporter of legal marijuana in the world
A book about cannabis says the industry has right-sized after a market for legal weed did not materialize. In ‘Catch A Fire”, author Ben Kaplan argues that despite all losses by investors, Canada’s cannabis experiment has still been a success.
Anyone got a light?
The cannabis in the legal market is pretty poorly produced, it’s best to grow your own if you want a decent product.
Rational, reasonable people would logically prefer to pay tax on a legal product which they can conveniently acquire to use instantly at a store, rather than be criminalized, persecuted and prosecuted over the possession and use of relatively benign cannabis…
what can you expect from canada/ontario… the cannabis smoker/may be the dealer (bonnie lien, asian, female) served as ‘teacher’ in day care system in ontario, who knows when she would mix the cannabis into the food, and feed our precious canadian children.
Fear of Cannabis Legalization Nationwide is unfounded. Not based on any science or fact whatsoever. So please prohibitionists, we beg you to give your scare tactics, "Conspiracy Theories" and "Doomsday Scenarios" over the inevitable Legalization of Cannabis Nationwide a rest. Nobody is buying them anymore these days. Okay?
"Americans favor making cannabis legal for adults, according to the findings of a CNN/ORC International survey released late Monday. The percentage is the highest ever reported by the survey, which has been tracking public opinion on the issue since 1973, and marks a 12 percentage point jump in support since the last time pollsters posed the question in 2012" -CNN Poll
They did it wrong right from day one, just as most of us old geezers predicted they would.
Funneling millions of dollars out of Canadian communities and into the pockets of foreign investors and cartels.

So please prohibitionists, we beg you to give your scare tactics, "Conspiracy Theories" and "Doomsday Scenarios" over the inevitable Legalization of Cannabis Nationwide a rest. Nobody is buying them anymore these days. Okay? Furthermore, if all prohibitionists get when they look into that nice, big and shiny crystal ball of theirs, while wondering about the future of cannabis legalization, is horror, doom, and despair, well then I suggest they return that thing as quickly as possible and reclaim the money they shelled out for it, since it’s obviously defective. The prohibition of cannabis has not decreased the supply nor the demand for cannabis at all. Not one single iota, and it never will. Just a huge and complete waste of our tax dollars to continue criminalizing citizens for choosing a natural, non-toxic, relatively benign plant proven to be much safer than alcohol. If prohibitionists are going to take it upon themselves to worry about "saving us all" from ourselves, then they need to start with the drug that causes more death and destruction than every other drug in the world COMBINED, which is alcohol! Why do prohibitionists feel the continued need to vilify and demonize cannabis when they could more wisely focus their efforts on a real, proven killer, alcohol, which again causes more destruction, violence, and death than all other drugs, COMBINED? Prohibitionists really should get their priorities straight and/or practice a little live and let live. They’ll live longer, happier, and healthier, with a lot less stress if they refrain from being bent on trying to control others through Draconian Cannabis Laws.

Legalized LOL Ex government and ex police took over the industry and people don’t buy it in Canada.
The liberal insiders who were given the contracts to grow made absolute millions
The "War on Cannabis" has been a complete and utter failure. It is the largest component of the broader yet equally unsuccessful "War on Drugs" that has cost our country over two trillion dollars.Instead of The United States wasting Billions upon Billions more of our yearly tax dollars fighting a never ending "War on Cannabis", lets generate Billions of dollars, and improve the deficit instead. It’s a no brainer. The Prohibition of Cannabis has also ruined the lives of many of our loved ones. In numbers greater than any other nation, our loved ones are being sent to jail and are being given permanent criminal records. Especially, if they happen to be of the "wrong" skin color or they happen to be from the "wrong" neighborhood. Which ruin their chances of employment for the rest of their lives, and for what reason? Cannabis is much safer to consume than alcohol. Yet do we lock people up for choosing to drink? Let’s end this hypocrisy now! The government should never attempt to legislate morality by creating victim-less cannabis "crimes" because it simply does not work and costs the taxpayers a fortune. Cannabis Legalization Nationwide is an inevitable reality that’s approaching much sooner than prohibitionists think and there is nothing they can do to stop it! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now! Support Each and Every Cannabis Legalization Initiative!
Politicians who continue to demonize Cannabis, Corrupt Law Enforcement Officials who prefer to ruin peoples lives over Cannabis possession rather than solve real crimes who fund their departments toys and salaries with monies acquired through cannabis home raids, seizures and forfeitures, and so-called "Addiction Specialists" who make their income off of the judicial misfortunes of our citizens who choose cannabis, – Your actions go against The Will of The People and Your Days In Office Are Numbered! Find new careers before you don’t have one.

Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. No exceptions. It’s so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?
"Americans Favor Legalizing Cannabis Support surged 10 percentage points in past year"" -Gallup Poll
States "rights" has become just a clever excuse, disguise and blanket authority being used for a very small minority of irrational prohibitionists to be able to criminalize everything that they personally don’t morally approve of. Same with abortion, websites and even books that they don’t morally approve of, and they have the nerve to call it states "rights". The only "right" states rights provide is the right of a very small minority to criminalize anything they don’t morally approve of in their individual home states. It needs to end now! It’s like having 50 different countries with different laws instead of a "United" States. States rights=Criminalization of the citizens by a very small lunatic fringe minority of irrational prohibitionists whom have self righteously appointed themselves as self deputized morality police over everyone else.
These guys are talking a bunch of BS. The cannabis industry in Canada is ran by a bunch of idiots who don’t know their left from their right. YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING??? GET RID OF ILLEGAL STORES YOU MORONS!!
"The report discovered that Cannabis is 114 times less deadly than alcohol. Researchers were able to determine this by comparing the lethal doses with the amount of typical use. Through this approach, Cannabis had the lowest mortality risk to users out of all the drugs they studied. In fact—because the numbers were crossed with typical daily use—Cannabis is the only drug that tested as "low risk." -Complex
Legalize federally now. What’s legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians. Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!
YOU’D THINK THAT MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE OR MINISTRY OF HEALTH WOULD BE IN CHARGE OF THIS S**T BUT NO, IT’S OWNED BY THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE. THAT TELLS YOU IT’S ALL PURE BS. ALL REGULATIONS AND EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS TO GIVE YOU THE ILLUSION THAT THEY ARE CONTROLLING IT BUT THEY’RE NOT.
The Canadian legal market is a scam!! You never know what you’re buying because you can’t actually see the product before purchase. Pictures online are fake and generic, the THC percentages are completely off from what’s listed, they spray cannabis with solvents to make extracts then resell the cannabis after the extraction, they add botanical terpenes to combustable products and all the concentrates on the shelf are silica filled CRC poison ☠️ and now the grey market can’t compete because the legal market is 2x as cheap.
Why should you have to pay for a license just to work at a retail store only certain people get those jobs
