420 Day highlights need for cannabis industry policy changes in Canada
It’s April 20, also known as 420, or World Cannabis Day. Across our region, people are marking cannabis culture’s high holiday by visiting pot stores to stock up on supplies.
But, experts say there’s still much that needs to change to keep the industry safe and sustainable.
The origins of the celebrations are cloudy, but it came to symbolize calls for legalization. Here in Canada, that battle was hard-won in 2018, but advocates say the fight’s far from over.
CT on fertilizer doesn’t help.
Need more of a variety for sure wont buy bud in their stores anymore not worth the cost nothing really left of the buds after the growers take all the good stuff from their tumblers for everything else just not worth the cost
People smoke way too much. I can smoke a joint and 2 days later I still feel hazy. When I see people smoking 2 gram joints I m like wow they abusing this plant. Weed in s like a spice not a whole meal
Lolol government weed is more expensive then illegal weed now lolol
4 bucks a gram they charging way more than that at the store growers getting hosed
Control pot but give out highend drugs to the streets smart people at work yup
Just shop at the Rez like a patriotic Canadian!
where $4 a gram ? ….
Toooo expensive, the prices need to be cut in half to compare to the black market
Buddy turning into a grape there
Most of the legal cannabis is too expensive. It burns and tastes like dog 💩, black market is still better
Yeah needs to be cheaper
World cannabis day ? 😂
Quite taxing it so much!!!
couldn’t have had a worse reporter doing this story. might as well have asked a nun to review strip clubs.
Should never have been made legal
All of this is a joke now… just Government’s garbage
Thanks to Justin Trudeau Canadians are no longer criminalized for using cannabis.
Yes privatise and get the government out of it
Overpriced garbage. End of story.
We need more QC on weights of the pre-rolls.
Ppl need to grow their own. store bought, mass produced is GARBAGE
the black market should have been folded into things from the very beginning. The majority of people trust those who have been growing for decades VS the government growing facilities where sometimes all that was required of an employee was to read a book for 2hrs. In B.C, if you don’t own your own home, you have to ask your landlord’s permission to consume cannabis. Disabled people will never be able to afford their own homes & have to ask their landlord’s permission to consume cannabis medicinally. What other medication do you have to ask your landlord’s permission to use? By removing all cannabis consumption lounges, it left cannabis users who can’t consume at home, having to consume outdoors instead. With limited places to sit, because cities don’t want homeless people sleeping on benches, it makes it challenging for those who are disabled to consume cannabis outdoors. Now, some cities are banning outdoor cannabis consumption in certain areas, once again discriminating against those who are disabled.
Why even go to a dispensary 😂 just order online
some people want box wine …. some dont mind paying good bud . Truro is great … broken coast … weed me is a good budget bud and vapes
William knife man on the reserve got the $40 oz and 2000mg edibles 🤣
Hey, that’s me! 💚🌲🔥💨
If i pay $36 a ounce does that mean $28 goes to tax and only $8 goes to the farm? That’s pitiful for the growers😢
Tax makes it taste bad!
My dealer is still cheaper, has better quality, calls me up when he has sweet stuff, smokes me a testor, delivers, and opens 24/7.
The best part is I don’t have to hear some guy whose only personality trait is "I smoke cheeba," trying to upsell me at the store.
I only buy from the natives , FJT
As yes 420 day… serves as a good reminder of when everybody sold out the country for legal weed
The weed is bunk and burns black.
Native shops have better selection than governemnt shops here in Nova Scotia
And the legal products have chemicals put in them. Maybe to stop burning if you pass out. But this product is always harsh. Grow your own just like food.
Puff puff pass
Humanity doesn’t need a new legal drug setting precedents about distributing drugs as everything from edibles to drinkables.
I’ve never once had a good experience buying government weed. It’s all trash unless you want to spend well over 200 for an ounce. I’ll stick with the black market.
the entire cannabis act needs to be rewritten. allow us to grow twice as many plants, even though we still do, let us do it legally.
the max ml in edibles needs to be raised to 1000mg for a pack.
better packaging, should all be biodegradable, and more minimal.
we need indoor smoking cafe’s like in Amsterdam. it’s fun to hotbox inside with strangers.
That’s bs I want some of that jet fuel or wedding cake lol
Increase on thc to edibles would be great and with lower taxes I could see more people buying from a store than elsewhere
Ganja won’t let me let go
On the Set flow
I love you Herb as one drew
I come true as the fader
I bladed in arrays of styles
I filed in to while when I got it to smile bent
The adventure centered on Ganja and Mushrooms
Will I to dust soon as bust one

Done
One license spun to drive as thrive and stay alive
I busted Knives I ruined lives

As a little dot I smoked Pot
I roll up
Shocked
As I flocked on I pull the popcorn to stop Sun
For a lot of Glocks Hum
But I copped one sack after another brother
No lack
I I surf a stack and pull it back and cap
I busted a hardcore rap as jacked
It’s hard to be nice to killers on Ice
I served it twice
Bird as flights taken
For no mistake I 8 Ball
Serve and skate wall to wall
Product
Sew the lock shut
this comment section is full of garbage opinions and ignorance
They did it to grab tax cash the government
In Canada you can get up to 100 plant license for free very easy
"The origins of the celebration are ‘cloudy’ " lol
We dont need this here in canada. It stinks and its destroying social air. Stinks. Worst bthsn cigarettes
If this is what caused trudeau to be in power, perhaps we should reverse the decision and ban it once again
Edibles are a complete joke, and storefronts are selling products 6+ months old and ignoring package dates. And yes cannabis cost 3 dollars a gram for consumers not 10 😂
So many half-truth$ and lie$-by-omi$$ion everywhere. Take the water in 28 g sealed bags, i calculated the tax actually also applies on water sold 221 times the cost of bottled water… What for?? Or "concentrate" oils prove some ~33000 % more expensive simply because it’s cannabis instead of canola. Etc., etc.
Ever heard of our huge Pest Control Products catalog? Now try comprehend the implications from an absence of combinatorial C(n, r) restrictions amplified by a concept of NON-DETECTION while myclobutanil was just BANNED previously – reminding the customers how twisted iat actually is, considering our own favourite consumption method turns it into hydrogen cyanide (HCN), better know as « Zyklon-B » in extermination camps: a Level-3 item of the Chemical Weapons Convention… No wonder the « LPs » discussed using it for sick client$ and the news only reached us between Christass and new Year’s Eve! Etc., etc. The pile of abuse is so huge it would shame the average "criminal" who used to be no more than a talented green-thumb gardener.
