^this. most of us aren't really business people, we're bakers, and carpenters, and nurses, and clerks...probably a lot of clerks....and we're growers, of all different sorts with all sorts of goals.
the people coming into the Canadian market are business people, who hire growers to work for them. they run things like a business, and are used to it. they know how to get licenses, they know who to talk to, how to get distributors, they can afford to absorb losses that smaller operations cannot. they can operate at a loss for a year or even two, because they are diversified, this will just be one branch of their empires.
it happened in Colorado,and Oregon, so many people moved there, expecting to get rich, and now most of them are broke, because they flooded the market so bad, weed is going for a small percentage of what it should be going for. the big operations will weather it out, and next year, there will be 50 suppliers, instead of 5000. a couple of years after that, there will be 15.
but there will always be a black, or at least grey market. the thing about business, is it makes money, it doesn't offer value. or quality.
a lot of people will buy the shit they offer. but a lot of people will want better. cleaner. more variety.....
