I'm not sure how you think the price of mmj has been artificially low? Where? If the grower is making a profit and the seller is making a profit, and the customers happy-the price is just right. I'm sure most would have no problem forking over the 5% gst if they weren't risking arrest. The black market has been, is and will continue to be populated by growers of all stripes- from mom & pop to organized crime. That isn't going to change no matter what rules are in place for medical. Their clientele is primarily the recreational user, not the patients. Do they sell to CC's? Absolutely. Did they and are they still making a healthy profit? Absolutely. Would they continue to exist after legalization? Absolutely not. The black market is a product of an oppressive government prohibition, and the CC's exist as a result of the lack of access to legal meds. I am having a hard time taking your patriotism rant seriously. There is a quick solution to all those lost tax dollars, and it won't come by giving LP's the sole right to grow. What should be of utmost concern to every Canadian, especially someone as proud as you, is the undemocratic, antiquated policies of our dictatorial government. Proud Tilray customer for life? That's a little over the top for a company that is only a year old, has a spotty track record at best and may or may not even exist in 6 months. You're not fooling anybody here.Face it, MMJ prices have been artificially low in Canada for a very long time because bikers don't pay taxes and pay their minions in cash. That's not only illegal but also EXTREMELY unpatriotic. I am proud to be Canadian and to support my government and the wonderful social support programs it offers, which we all benefit from in one way or another. Bikers and their crook customers can GTFO.
