The Dark Grey Market: Canadian Cannabis
The Dark Grey Market: Canadian Cannabis
Watch the first episode of SMOKEABLES: How to Make a Gravity Bong – http://bit.ly/28XSWBi
Cannabis in Canada is still widely illegal. With a new government entering parliament in 2016, the odds of legalization, further criminalization or decriminalization of marijuana coming to fruition are still to be determined. But despite that, black market growers and grey market marijuana dispensaries are more prevalent than ever. And the sometimes dangerous, and legally dubious process of manufacturing weed oils and other concentrates is rising with growers investing tens of thousands of dollars to make sheets of potent pot wax.
With the legal fate of weed still in the balance, VICE host Damian Abraham went to BC, the Wild West of Canadian chronic, visited grows operating illegally or semi-legally, met concentrate manufacturers making large quantities of oil in spite of the law, and checked in on the exploding dispensary scene that the federal Conservative government is trying to shut down.

17:15 Back in the days, people had to smoke cow dung and banana peels before they walked a mile in knee deep snow and they were happy about their recreational life! π
Mail order marijuana is a huge market in Canada and pretty much makes it legal. its insane! mine as well keep it illegal, i can order it to my door!
You should be checking HEASIE INVESTS for the latest news on the Canadian Cannabis sector! Let’s GO!!
"Nobody in the history of North America has gone against their government" lol wtf? 1776?!!
after the legalization, the marijuana market in canada will be in the hands of the government or will go to private business?
I love living here in bc vancouver is 45 mins away and I first heard of bho when I was 15 and started making it when I was 16 lol only had 1 explosion and that wasn’t my fault I took all lighters away and my buddy asked to take a bong hoot I said sure if you go outside or in the kitchen by the window and the idiot says ok then lights the lighter 3 ft from the warm water cooking the bho and I have to say it was awesome my couch had a huge hole blown in it bits of carpet melted and the lid to the attic was pushed open so everytime after that I do it by myself no one else around just because stoners can be stupid at times but for doing it for nearly 10 years now I have it so perfect but I love making it more then smoking it same with bubble hash the process is just really fun for me

kush queen
I can see a super lemon haze. My favourite!
I would like to get a job growing here in California.
Jesus these plants look bad. That’s what happens when Canadians grow instead of dutch man. You dry plants upside down for connoisseurs quality π this is really really bad
There is no "decriminalization" or "legalization". This is commercialization. You dumb yuppies and hipsters finally got your wish. America, get ready for overpriced and over-regulated bud!!
Hey check out my grow journal on my channel its 707 headband and bubbas gift from humboldt seeds, sorry to self-ad .
living in california i wonder if the small grower is in danger of becoming extinct due to the big growers/corporations taking over. with prop64 now in effect. it sounds like this could be a reality. i can see the retail stores also going away as well.
anybody else think that kid with cancer was speaking like how he was due to smoking 10 FUCKING GRAMS OF MARIJUANA A DAY?
Who else just took a bowl rip?
*All drug’s should be legalized and controlled.*

Dude that topical creme he talks about my mom’s friend makes and she gives me some every once in a while and it works so killer
Having Cannabis legal is very important for all citizens bcuz it creates a safe & reliable source of Cannabis for consumers. It’s tested for safety – regulated – taxed – controlled – & the users of Cannabis can live their lives with their medicine & products in a much safer manner than if people were going to the black markets. I’ve been poisoned myself. π
60 times 40 equals to 240… riiight

Mr. Anonymous doesn’t have to worry about working for the government. Trudeau will make sure all the growing and processing permits are issued to his buddies in big pharma. It’s all about the kickbacks. Marc Emery was a one trick pony in his support for Trudeau. Ask him now how that’s working out.

Weed comes from Hindustan, the Art & science of Smokin it is from Hindus!
You know they’re serious about growing when they grow underground in probably a bunker from what it looks like
I know that’s you Jay fucking Baruchel. You went back to Canada to smoke and make dabs you piece of shit. Come back and make movies with Seth Rogan
"How could you be so mad at this plant?" RIGHT?!

Harvested 800 plants, it was the toughest, longest job I have ever done.
Growing is TOUGH work, harvesting is even tougher.
