    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.

      Drugs and alcohol take a big hit when people can access weed legally. Weed can keep some people away from more destructive intoxicants. Those companies don’t want to give people the choice if they can avoid it.

      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.
