    Like they say in the video, within a click of a mouse, it pushes people back to the black market as they are able to see the legal prices and just adapt to it…

    Good to know

    Would never buy legal cannabis for acouple reasons.. One, very rarely do you find even a ok price for anything in a licenced store #2 The quality of the cannabis at least i get in my area is ALWAYS very very poor #3 The environment, Even 1G is packaged in a thick plastic container, Such a waste. #3 THE PRICES ARE INSANE AND PEOPLE SHOULD STOP CONTRIBUTING TO THAT!! I can get an OZ of AAA cannabis=28Grams For $160 where i am, and at most $200 anywhere else .. That has always been the price…Try buying that at a licenced store.. Your looking at over $300 AND THATS FOR BULK.. Walking in an seeing a GRAM for 15+ dollars make me wanna puke everytime. Your to late to be changing the price, People SHOULD at least, buy your weed elsewhere 🙂

  5. Anne Chester on October 27, 2021 at 10:39 am

    New reality? Cannabis has been grown in Canada since 1606.

    The price is always too high as long as people are in jail for pot.

    Overgrow!



  7. Tyler Berry on October 27, 2021 at 10:42 am

    My god, They are trying to see how much they can get for them, Its easy marketing.. The problem is they can do that. More people should be able to get a licence to be able to sell. Look at ICBC in BC..Its f** outrageous and were going to let this get lead in the same way ? Few people get access ? Until that changes nothing else will

    Hey Guys,
    I am a young man from the UK and I am looking to go into the cannabis industry full-time in Canada one day, hopefully soon. Can anyone please give me advice on how I could make this a reality, I am open to any opinion and your words can really help me. Thank you.



  9. QB Livingstone on October 27, 2021 at 10:44 am

    Ok but what about the pricing in Alberta?



  10. xrguy650 on October 27, 2021 at 10:45 am

    There’s inconsistencies in the illegal market as well but prices are out of control in Illinois. Look to spend 200 bucks for 2 grams of wax after taxes. No thanks.



  11. AKEWSD on October 27, 2021 at 10:47 am

    Been buying legal, peace of mind but inconsistent in pricing and the markup is ridiculous. The business model need to be improved, hire somebody who is an expert in business process.



  12. greg fuzi on October 27, 2021 at 10:50 am

    So they are ripping people off. It’s the same here in the United states. It’s just a weed why is the price so high.



  13. Susan B on October 27, 2021 at 10:51 am

    willing to bet higher prices in provinces with conservative leadership



  14. I-Am-Frenchie on October 27, 2021 at 10:51 am

    Pot prices have always been different. Like for instance Calgary was cheaper then then it was in Peace river. Just like food. Its 15 bucks for a big mack meal in G.P compared to 9 bucks in Calgary….



  15. Danielle Vandermolen on October 27, 2021 at 10:52 am

    I miss Seattle’s dispensary system affordable but realistically priced, a 1 gram vape top is 45$ here haha I refuse to buy personally il grab a prerolled but still go to the guy down the road……



  16. Kyle D on October 27, 2021 at 10:52 am

    Don’t buy from just anyone you should choose who buy from and who you work for.. Don’t work for a "co-op" that’s not operated as a co-op. If you’re doing 15% of the work you’re supposed to get 15% of the profit



  17. Bhav Gill on October 27, 2021 at 10:53 am

    who is watching this high?



  18. Jerrs Aerial Photography & Vlogs on October 27, 2021 at 10:53 am

    Greed is blind, if your only goal is cash, good luck

  23. GETH_ _COMMANDS_ on October 27, 2021 at 11:05 am

    so what its not your cannabis until you buy it  ,  you really can see white collar and blue collar crooks think they have some sort of say of something they cannot afford . . its not yours until you buy it there’s no such thing as equal opportunity



  24. Mexx on October 27, 2021 at 11:06 am

    Is Cannabis Oil same as CBD oil?



  25. JVONROCK on October 27, 2021 at 11:07 am

    In 5 years, who will you blame, cartels ? Who’ll pay for mental health ?



  26. Raven Heart on October 27, 2021 at 11:08 am

    Lol…..this whole thing has made the Liberals look like fools ..lol…….go buy off the guy on the street , cheaper and most likely better then what the Government ordained stores sell , when they claim bankruptcy I’m sure the Liberals will help them out ……….as always on any bad ventures they make , so all of them ……..lmao



  27. The End of Zombie Shakespeare on October 27, 2021 at 11:09 am

    Annoying how THC oils are a ripoff, especially since they’re great for people who don’t/can’t smoke.



  28. Sideonx3 on October 27, 2021 at 11:10 am

    Mostly, the disabled cant afford the prices as Opioids are covered by Disability but the safer choice is not…some people are just too ill to grow their own.



  29. J E on October 27, 2021 at 11:11 am

    I live in the states, i was told if you dont have your medical card prices are much higher due to tax on their products… Im not positive how other countries figure out prices.. myself i have lung problems i cant inhale so i buy edibles.



  30. zazou zaza on October 27, 2021 at 11:11 am

    The black market booming



  31. Masaharu Morimoto on October 27, 2021 at 11:12 am

    Prices on everything are too high, I’m growing my own because of the high prices, I would rather just buy it and not have to grow, but LPs & Ontario are greedy, so they get nothing, I’ll grow it myself.



  32. Chris Oakley on October 27, 2021 at 11:13 am

    second



  33. Grover Monster on October 27, 2021 at 11:14 am

    Overgrow the Government



  34. RomeandJames on October 27, 2021 at 11:15 am

    3:16 there



  35. Frank Z on October 27, 2021 at 11:16 am

    If the government wants illegal stuff stopped they need to have the best for the cheapest. Even if that means taking a loss for a while



  36. CARNY 666 on October 27, 2021 at 11:16 am

    These prices push us all to the illegal market.



  37. Ukro T. on October 27, 2021 at 11:21 am

    This is how it looks when something is new on market, new plans, new ideas, new product and then they don’t know how to act, and then automatically it’s harder for government to "earn" – (steal) money from people because of this, or competition or simply cause you can GROW YOUR OWN, and they don’t like it.



  38. kavan schindler on October 27, 2021 at 11:23 am

    Government monopoly. Trust. Low "t .h. c." and the only high is the price.



  39. Shark Larmey on October 27, 2021 at 11:23 am

    GROW YOUR OWN



  40. Kelly K on October 27, 2021 at 11:26 am

    They are screwing up so laughingly bad. Maybe next century it’ll be done right. Maybe.



  41. mark brown on October 27, 2021 at 11:29 am

    in the states, gummies are about two buck a piece.



  42. BАN АLL VАССINЕS on October 27, 2021 at 11:30 am

    CBC *is promoting drug use.* Marijuana needs to be banned in Canada!



  43. Sean John Kotris on October 27, 2021 at 11:33 am
