I looked....consumer stuff mostly.
If you in the business it's not that pricey.
Weed in Canada has ZERO value

So if you're sitting on pounds in Canada, the solution is to keep sitting; until supply runs low and prices climb back to previous levels.
Ever grow a pound?, you'd be pretty pissed at a $400 profit on something that requires months to produce.

Who you gonna sell them to when there's no one buying wholesale or they're buying 5 packs one every few weeks and you got 50lb to sell and have a $5000 hydro bill.
The only reason weed was worth money before is because you have a chance to go to jail, lose everything and end up with $100K+ in lawyer bills. There's 2% legal chance you'd get busted these days in Canada.
10 weeks you come down with 50LB say you make $400 profit on that and unlike some people you have a descent job that's $20K you never had for say 4 hours of extra work every couple of days.

Trouble is it gets old pretty fast really. Not like there is years of shelf life. So the window is much shorter that it appears.

Trouble is people who don't live in Canada and have a no clue about the market here making up some fairy tale statements about the market because in their neck of the woods weed is still $2000/lb lol When guys with stickers on the back of their vests are closing down and getting out that should tell you a lot lol

I wonder how the LP's are doing these days. Not much posted here about that anymore.
Ya some folks don't know our market or realize they are in the Canadian section.

Yah except for the closures a few months back and people losing their jobs at the farms not much at all. I guessing most of the early insiders cashed in their shares and are just riding it downhill or till they get out. There's 4 dispensaries here in Mission BC with 3 with in .5 and 1km of each others in a city for 40K and a city built on growing weed lol. Except for the one on the reserve they all got prime retail $pace lol with what I heading very small amount of traffic.

Trouble is these scum companies are selling to other countries and that will save their asses somewhat.
Even if we as Canadians don't buy the hypocrit weed....they'll survive.
I'm hoping to see the retail stores start to drop like flies wherever and sooner than later.
Anyone seen any stores close so far? I think I like it best when they are over run with competition. That way each one suffers independently. Just enough fish(sales) per day to keep them non profitable and poor. Just barley making it is so sweet for them. Buying from these stores is the same as being told by trudolph to get on your knee's and suck his hypocrit schlong. As long as his pals make cash on his big venture he'll sleep well at night.
I never heard any apologies for what they did to us for 50 -60 years

50 lb over 10 weeks is 1 lb per work day...
Even with a trimmer and a lot of routine it will take you pretty much the entire day to trim and process the weed.
That's not "4 hours every couple of days", it's a full time job.
If that then pays $10k per month tops, and all that money would have to be laundered as well... and growing that amount will get you in serious legal trouble if caught...
It does not sound like a good deal to me.
It's exactly that. It has nothing to do with the product.
In most parts of Europe it would rather be more like CAD 3000/lb (and that's strictly a wholesale rate), 2k/lb is not even remotely in reach... maybe if you're deep in organized crime and basically sell to yourself or to your own corner guys, but even then it would not be worth the risk in my opinion.

Here we go again with "Mr ...gee I get everything wrong every time I post" guy.
Yes of course your entitled to your opinion. And we are entitled to laugh our asses off at your responses.
I gotta love how you think you know more than Aqua does.
Why don't you tell us about your experience with any of this? did you ever grow a plant past the 4 weeks it took you to kill it? Show us some of your grow in pics!

@The Hippy Sorry, but I had to put you on ignore, because having to wrestle with intellectual giants like yourself is very exhausting and makes me feel insecure.

Not seeing how this is possible... still costs $150-175/lb just for trimming. The labor market in Canada is definitely a sellers market right now.
That's just processing, not including rent/electricity/nutrients/labor, etc...

Canning jars, boveda humidity packs, oxygen absorbers, proper storage in darkness/lower temps.
Shelf life can be extended for a LONG time using these methods, years actually.
But yeah, once curing ends cannabis begins degrading after 3-6 months...mainly due to light and O2.
Or this time of year, drying out without using humidity packs...or at least citrus peels and hygrometers in jars.

This topic interests me a lot - its kind of a window into the future, to gauge how it would be if the UK legalised weed (which is a LONG way away).As aa result of me being in the UK, please forgive my ignorance.
So are you suggesting that things have got worse since legalisation? If so, how?

He said "$150-200/lb to grow" (after expenses), but that was wrong, because after expenses it's $0 to grow, since plants grow on their own...
Getting a pound of weed from clone to market (i.e. into a container, trimmed, dried and cured) is supposed to cost $200? Even after expenses (which probably means rent, electricity, water and fertilizer)?
Surely possible.
In Bangladesh.

He sounds like a 19 years old wanker. Knows it all about Canada and our scene here. Buys by the quarter ounce most likely.

I despise trimming,but for that kind of coin I’d gladly trim.
