One thing this thread clearly shows....due to the amount of companies dedicating portions, or all ,of their product lines...toward the cannabis
market is ... that had the government, allowed participation in the new legal cannabis market, for anyone interested, in participating...
We would have seen a boom in Canada,(basically like no other),as the industry exploded into its free and open...ring of competition.
I would also bet,new products and (Re and Dev) would enter the market at a staggering pace... for the first 10 years, as everything from rolling papers to roach's would have new products attached.
Yes winners and losers, but massive amounts of investment by the public, and huge amounts of employment, massive amounts of HST taxes would have also been created.
well instead the Gov opted for closed circle of less than 100/people, with huge investment requirements,security requirements etc etc...
and this circle is comprised of the culture's former jailer's/politicians//police aka " weedsel's" ( pronounced closer to weasel's) .lol
It is really time to free this plant, IMO ...and take it back from those with little to zero scruples and the hypocrites that they are.
with any luck,their retirement income goes with the market failure they will experience.
