The Cash Crop: Canadian Cannabis

Watch the first episode of SMOKEABLES: How to Make a Gravity Bong – http://bit.ly/28XSWBi

In the latest episode of our Canadian Cannabis series, we take a look at how Canada is missing out on an economic windfall by continuing down a path of restrictive marijuana policies.

Fucked Up’s Damian Abraham, a medical marijuana user and overall weed enthusiast, went out to Vancouver and Denver to compare the grey market of dispensaries in British Columbia (which are now in the crosshairs of the federal government) to Denver’s regulated legal weed economy.

He meets with weed entrepreneurs in both cities and chats with the decision makers who are trying to make pot easy to get on both sides of the border.

    These grey area dispensaries was so much better than those legalized cannabis that was approved by the FDA it’s literally smoking diluted cannabis imo. I’m just speaking from my experience when I first purchased my cannabis from these government owned shop. I can be sure of this too cause I’m speaking from experience. I rather just stick to Buy Low Green instead or visit my local dealer.
