$160 for a half ounce and you don’t get to see it and try it before you buy. Half the supply has random seeds and no consistency from year to year.
I guess there just aren’t as many potheads as they thought. Hmmm, dummm business
Hey, how ironic with the death count exploding from use of decriminalized Hard drugs. Nice deflection.
even his dog looked like it just got high.
In Aldergrove the pot shop is the busiest store.
The cannabis stores on the island get their stuff from good supply an it’s always weights under.. it’s bs to the max ….
Black market all the way 500$ a pound no junk government weed
Cannabis legalization was never about the business. It’s about ending the persecution of cannabis consumers, period. — Science and widespread experience have shown cannabis has no significant harms. Hence the only regulation it really needs is to prohibit sales to children and require adequate sanitation, as we do for all produce. – Get ready for the future. Cannabis will, logically, end up being sold wherever more harmful beer and wine are available. – It’s just a plant.
The last time I’ve had any cannabis related products was over a year ago.
I don’t miss nor care for it really.
Who would of thought majority of Canadians aren’t stone heads.
….i remember the sticky stinky stuff i bought downtown Vancouver walked into store all in jars it was very cool , it was better weed that way, illegal but run for years like that for some reason …now its handy but hard to find good qualities
They are really proud of themselves to taking drugs. BC is crazy , NDP destroy the cities
The interested marijuana lovers could try to club membership rental space groups and like shared community gardens have a partnerships in producing the highest level of quality and lll other uses in marijuana. Like have plots of warehouse space and also beer originals distilleries and like state of the art galleries for aficionados to come together for and have auction sales and all kinds of parties in primo settings like galleries and TV shows and magazines smoking mechanism museums and art with new high tech designs and fashion and Internet all kind of venues into Marijuana beer and liquors originals mixes of in flavours and high%. That’s a billion Canadian dollar or more idea for Vancouver. It’s all yours I’ll come to visit and aks for the experience if i’m allowed when it comes to reality in Vancouver area 🙂
Price and quality, thats what keeps your business #1
Competition is fierce? That’s a good thing for consumers, same as any retail outlet.
"we only have the craft bud" as they show puresunfarms mass produced irradiated garbage 😂😂😂
Yeah cuase the prices suck and the whole boutique jewelry shop set up is stupid. You know what was great the pain society. They had vending machines and there was only two prices regular and premium. Alot of people who go there have anxiety and don’t wanna deal with people so you could stick a 20 in the machine and go or go to the counter and get help too. And add the extra cost of the dumb giant plastic containers hey I thought we were getting away from single use plastics compared to the vacuum sealed bags… yeah I wonder why the whole thing is a disaster and people are still buying black market weed.
Cannabis should be just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. In every single state. 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?
Everyone in BC have moved on to opiates.
The NDT National debate topic in 1970 turned out to be legalizing pot. But that was sativa, not greenhouse grown Kenworth hit stuff like today. 10 a.m. and this kid parking on our site doing drywall next door?? Sledgehammer pot time, in the a.m.. Like cracking a beer at 6 a.m. to start your work day. I can’t BELIEVE it. No one should have a criminal record for pot anywhere in the world, but THIS??? We have no handle on drunk driving and it’s been almost fifty years since my sister was killed. Now this.
Why is everyone associated with the weed buisness so creepy
Disgusting!!
You expect a boom from people who partake of a substance that inherently causes lethargy???
It’s no wonder sales are ‘slow’….!!!!! LMAO!!!
