    This is what I don’t understand. There’s a huge market for this stuff. Anyone with half a brain and the right amount of capital could get in on the ground floor of this and make a fucking killing. The alcohol and pharmaceutical industry is already set up for most of the business. They already have politicians bought and paid for. It’s a truly bipartisan issue. Just stop fucking opposing it.

      They had to time it right so the proper people could get situated to capitalize on new legislation.

      Anyone with half a brain and money did jump in, and Alberta, one of the only provinces with private stores, has about 50% more stores than the market can bare. The big dick swingers are running a war of attrition to price small players out of cultivation/retail. I can buy an ounce of legal weed for under 60 bucks Canadian.
