John Moeller is the operations director for Broken Coast, a small licensed producer that operates in Ladysmith. He says becoming a licensed producer was not the windfall everyone expected, but he doesn’t know if they are selling to fewer customers on the West Coast because of the proliferation of dispensaries.
He says if the dispensaries weren’t there, customers wouldn’t necessarily register with licensed producers. “They might just buy it from a different illegal source. They might buy it from their neighbour or someone that’s growing it that they know…Logic would have you believe, though, that if there’s a dispensary on every corner, it’s going to start having an effect over time.”
Awww...
Can I safely assume that there are no non-MMAR growers supplying dispensaries and the BM?
