The scaling back of Canada’s second-largest pot producer is the second restructuring in less than 12 months.

“Today, there are two very different cannabis markets in Canada. One that’s legal, highly taxed and regulated, and one that’s thriving and illicit,” he said, estimating that the black market represents about 40 per cent of Canada’s overall cannabis sales.
