Liberals want to move up pot legalization to avoid Canada Day celebrations

Valid point. But maybe they could get sale here and there. But how are YOU going to sell anything when Canopy is already huge and plans on getting bigger? It would be like Joe's Operating System trying to compete with Microsoft.
I buy local produce grown on a family farm...the farmer's markets are always packed despite Loblaws and Sobey's. Craft brewer's have established successful businesses along side of Molson's and Labbatt's. West Jet took on Air Canada...and won. You may not compete in quantity, but you can excel in quality and the customer experience. Happens all the time.

Possibly. I just wonder what happens when the Canadian market for legal weed, meaning the sucker market, gets saturated. No more licenses issued, or they just keep cranking them out? 30 million people is not a huge market, and how many of that population even uses weed and how many of that would buy legally? Canopy actually expects to make most of its money from exports. They ain't gonna let YOU export weed. That market will be tight as fuck.

This is the way it should be and could be eventually, perhaps in some provinces right away, like BC is sounding like they could support the on-going/existing dispensary model. It's ultimately going to be what the provinces do with distribution. Unfortunately I live in one of the most backward provinces and we have a total imbecile for a premier in Wynne, so not holding much hope here.

There's no reason small mom & pop shops should be held back and carve out a small market for themselves,. It would create more quality jobs than big LP's, LP's will be the new retailers paying low wages and long hours and shitty customer service. Mom & pop shops would be more like the craft brewery's creating local jobs, quality and unusual strains, fully organic vs. mass produced crap like Coor's/Molson.

Smart provinces with some foresight would create a more open market and create a boom industry, boost their economy and become the Colorado of Canada. Of course that would take some balls, definitely something Wynne is lacking in more ways than one #$%!

I forgot to mention that they said the Provinces would license the stores and set the prices. I assume that also means the producers' prices. You won't be able to undercut anybody, except maybe other Provinces. Then of course it's interprovincial smuggling time. Unless every Province has the exact same price, you know what will happen.

Tweed, Canopy's sales brand, which may have closed now, idk, but they had a strain listed on the site that was something like 27% THC. They aren't idiots. How hard is it to hire better trimmers or learn how to cure properly? Think you're the only one who can manage to put out a saleable product huh?

You assume wrong. The province can set a minimum RETAIL sale price...kinda like what happens with booze, but they can't dictate what a manufacturer can charge for wholesale. As for the inter-provincial smuggling... provinces don't standardize pricing for smokes or booze nationally...it's not a huge issue.
I guess the big reveal is tomorrow, so we'll see the details.

"The task force also urged the government to allow Canadians to buy or carry 30 grams of marijuana for personal use, and to grow up to four plants at home. The task force also recommended a system that would feature storefront sales and mail-order distribution, and allow a wide range of producers to operate legally, including “craft” growers and the current producers of medical marijuana.

Mr. Trudeau said last year that the Liberal government was in overall agreement with the task force’s 80 recommendations."
