Click here to watch Episode 2 now: http://bit.ly/1phzPUb

In this episode of Canadian Cannabis, Damian visits two gigantic weed factories in Ontario to check out what kind of bud the government has legally authorized. He also chats with pot activists throughout British Columbia to get their take on the new licensed producer system. And, lastly, we visited a private pot grower who has a medical grow license, but is being squeezed out by Canada’s new medical marijuana program: the MMPR.

    What a joke. Have fun on the way down, we’ll have fun watching you LPs trying to monopolize crash and burn.



  6. Badru Din on February 19, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    never trust a grower who doesnt indulge



  7. weed mans on February 19, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    If you aren’t getting from someone who grows weed for the love of weed then you are getting it from someone who doesn’t care about you they just want your money and that is a problem



  8. Benjamin Stephens on February 19, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    In spite of all the troubles brought upon the Foot Soldier’s of the past for selling this herb, one would think that the Government would allow individual’s to be licensed and count that as a part of their income. It would give poor people a chance to pull their Families closer together and provide an income for them more easily. Compare that to the "Dehumanizing Process of Applying for Welfare" and I think that many would prefer the Canabiz! Imagine your Grand Parent’s being able to supplement their incomes, or saving’s???



  9. Ray c on February 19, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    It’s not a coincidence that only a few companies have been approved and no-one else. The exact same thing happened in Massachusetts



  10. burnedbysound on February 19, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    i got super sick from smoking Tweed’s shit i bought from Cannabis NB. I’m a 23year daily user and i have been heavy into extracts the entire time so this is def not a tolerance issue. Tweed’s Kosher Kush tasted like i was smoking a jobee’s plant food stick… about 3 hours after burning it I was dizzy, nauseous, sweaty, head ache. Symptoms lasted over 24hours. I complained about it to Tweed and was offered a full refund…within the same week 2 other guys i know said they got super weird sick from the same shit….These LP grow the shittiest pot i have seen come from any indoor op in my whole life.



  11. Buck Nasty on February 19, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    She thinks it should be a penny a gram?! She clearly isn’t educated on anything other then the heavy consumer aspect. *slaps forehead*



  12. Brandon Peever on February 19, 2021 at 7:59 pm

    lol Dana Larson… Still playing the grey market game. Like fk man, you’re only hurting the movement. Get legit and do it right. Do right by your activism and get a damn license.



  13. Will B on February 19, 2021 at 8:00 pm

    Starting at the 14 min mark these clowns are letting their crop basically be blown away. Which is horrible on so many levels….most importantly is cross pollination. Jesus Christ these people have absolutely no idea wtf is up. I feel bad for Canada.



  14. Forger Forty Seven on February 19, 2021 at 8:01 pm

    more regulations then a power plant …….someone wants too make this hard AF so they can still charge 10$ gram
    this is how they do it …. otherwise they have too sell next too nothing per gram … So baiscly yes we will have this one day …..but it will be made too stock the pockets of big fama



  15. Adam Birch on February 19, 2021 at 8:02 pm

    Screw Tweed and their shit weed. I’ve gotten shake from them way to many times. Grow your own and be gone with this government monopoly

  24. Fish Or Die TV on February 19, 2021 at 8:21 pm

    The opening bid pic was hermafidited like a mofo



  25. Ray c on February 19, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    Tweeds growing style is based off of 90s lolipopping no wonder they don’t want competition



  26. D Zahorski on February 19, 2021 at 8:22 pm

    so troll just got weed from tweed lol 2014-2020



  27. Medium Medium on February 19, 2021 at 8:23 pm

    Pesticides are carcinogens. Health Canada found 95% of vendors failed pesticide tests, meaning the government is enforcing cancer.



  28. Forger Forty Seven on February 19, 2021 at 8:25 pm

    too much rage for grammar sorry



  29. Aykroyd Boogaloo on February 19, 2021 at 8:26 pm

    interviewer: ‘so how familiar were you with marijuana before running a corporate grow op’
    CEO: ‘zero background. zero. i’ve never even smoked a cigarette’
    :rolleyes: so many phoney ass culture vulture greedy fucks in this industry already.



  30. cheynespc on February 19, 2021 at 8:26 pm

    Same thing the cigarette companies made it illegal to grow tobacco because the companies don’t want to have any competition. β€œHome cooking hurts the restaurant industry”



  31. asia caitlin on February 19, 2021 at 8:27 pm

  32. vinzent1992 on February 19, 2021 at 8:27 pm

    Am I the only one who thinks that this is unbareable to watch due to the horrible background "music"?



  33. Texas Sports Outdoors on February 19, 2021 at 8:28 pm

    120 pounds as a side effect? I call BS on that one.



  34. 1233 3 on February 19, 2021 at 8:30 pm

    They need to decriminalize weed not legalize it



  35. Jason Lee on February 19, 2021 at 8:31 pm

    It’s cool that they legalize weed but why would they kick out the grey area dispensaries when they provided the best quality of cannabis when their legal cannabis sucked ass. Could’ve just charged them for having a license to sell instead of kicking them out wholely. This is why I start ordering my stuff form Buy Low Green instead of supporting these legal cannabis shop.



  36. The Jaded Wolf on February 19, 2021 at 8:32 pm

    I want to live in Canada, I suffer from Akathesia and smoking cannabis helps me sit down



  37. Weed Culture Australia on February 19, 2021 at 8:33 pm

    Weed experts don’t come from labs



  38. HAPPY HOMELESS HOMESTEADERS on February 19, 2021 at 8:33 pm

    They are always trying to get full control over the things people need and or merely want, why? Money. If you decriminalize pot and just let the people do whatever they do with it the proplem will be solved. But there will still be money in it, edibles drinks everything they will still buy it. I can makw all the wine I want to drink, I just can’t sell it, same as tobacco, I can grow my own but I buy itπŸ˜πŸ‘€ πŸ‘ 🌹



  39. Taylor King on February 19, 2021 at 8:34 pm

    jodie’s pretty nice πŸ‘



  40. Forger Forty Seven on February 19, 2021 at 8:35 pm

    and if they don’t get near their 10$ per gram kiss it all goddbuy they will pull the plug as soon as that big market pie cuts in half



  41. UjxumpiLay on February 19, 2021 at 8:36 pm

    Mastergrowers that don’t even smoke it they always just talk about the weed as product these guys are ovbiously well educated on growing plants and weed but I don’t trust a grower that dosent smoke it if you see the real weed in Canada it’s brown and dead the last grower seems much better than the mastergrowers



  42. J C on February 19, 2021 at 8:37 pm

    The problem with all of this as usual is greed! Every single person who need mJ for medical purposes should just grow and grow and grow, can’t put everyone in jail! Especially if its non violent, eventually they will have to give in!



  43. Nihilistichris on February 19, 2021 at 8:40 pm

    that guys grow at 17:27 is hilarious, the plant is stretching so bad and he has some serious foxtailing going on!



  44. Grow YourOwn on February 19, 2021 at 8:40 pm

    No reason we shouldn’t be able to grow our own. Try and stop me!



  45. Illy Gilly 13 on February 19, 2021 at 8:42 pm

  47. Willy Wonka on February 19, 2021 at 8:45 pm

    lol the risk drives black market price, its actually dirt cheap once its legal it should be pennies a gram not 10$ a gram. as they put out for $15-$20 gram of commercialized crap from producers like Tweed.



  48. Carlos Fernandes on February 19, 2021 at 8:46 pm

    The rules should be the same as the rules to grow tomatoes.

    On the future we will buy weed on the local farm market πŸ˜‰
