The average price of an illegal gram of pot was $5.93 in the second quarter; legal weed cost $10.65

The average cost of a gram of cannabis from the illicit market continues to drop as legal prices rise — with authorized retailers charging as much as 80 per cent more, according to an analysis by Statistics Canada.

At $10.65, legal cannabis in the second quarter is roughly 80 per cent more costly than the $5.93 price tag on illicit weed. Overall, based on these voluntary submissions, the average price per gram of cannabis fell to $7.87 from $8.03 in the previous quarter, largely attributed to lower reported illegal prices.

The agency also analyzed cannabis prices obtained from the websites of illegal online cannabis retailers, excluding illicit storefronts.

Liberals = higher prices for cannabis, gas, oil, lumber, electricity, food... ah, it’s just easier to say EVERYTHING! 🙄

Usual government job of making things efficient

But it is not cut with anything

It’s actually higher than that It’s also better quality and more consistent in most cases.

Ok, so let the government's price themselves out of the market...or make a winning proposition a losser, like Ford in Ontario!

Only OK if it's twice as good :D

But if you add in the cost of all the gun murders tied to the illegal stuff it’s many times more costly

That’s why you have to grab from the plug still

The price of legal cannabis is as much as 80 per cent higher than black market and 80% shittier. The feds totally screwed themselves and the black market is thriving even better than it was before legalization. That is why governments shouldn't be in business.
