Nice old school Kush, still in veg!

The real issue is a poor supply chain. Once that's worked out, the black market will be less relevant.

Eventually, the real benefits will be in medical marijuana. That will not be available on the black market.

Govt can pretty much screw up anything.

No.. It’s not True.. Ask the ones who enjoy it.. When SuperMarket is closed it’s over.. Why buy “ Catnip” off Black Market.. CANADA got it right .. Fake news

Because it's much cheaper. And in Ontario it's only available online from one source with a credit card only (debit not acceptable) and the company doesn't really care.

Can someone mail me some?

You mean decades of doing things one way weren't changed overnight? Shocker

It will stop eventually. Legalization is the way

If you have a good supply, why change?

😂 of course..... who imagined different

What do you expect when you legalize it in OCTOBER... in CANADA? This is more sensationalism than anything else. In the future weed stores will service tourists and wintered Canadians.

Unathi_Kwaza I take offence that you directly correlate illegal weed with the “black” market. Truly racist press.

supply & demand?

Note to other states wanting to go legal: hire consultants from Colorado

Legalize it and increase fines and penalties for buying on black market.

When you tax the shit out of it that will happen. My area the taxes can be anywhere from 20%+ onwards.

That's bc CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS!!

Are Canadians and Brits are they on the same side? And of course there is no hint at any connection just curious.

In Colorado, it's the opposite. The only people who buy from dealers any more are underage and the dealers just get their weed from dispensaries anyway.

Well ~who saw THAT coming?!

Yezzzz. The market wins always

Normal they are out of stock from the beginning..

These things take time.

Alcohol is legal in the United States, but moonshine is still a big criminal enterprise.

It is in CA, too:

Yea cuz it’s cheaper

big pharma still makes opioid pain killers , but the black markets still exists , pubs still sell alcohol but its black market still exists ,

If Canada had actually legalized cannabis there couldn’t be a “black market.” We predicted this would happen with overly regulated decriminalization instead of full legalization. And of course it did.

The market decides the price. Outside of a few things ( the military, healthcare ) you should let the people decide the price and vendor.

In Ontario, only online sales from the Ford dynasty are legal. An inept company taking weeks to fill orders. So yes. Until the convenience and price are matched, it's my guy.
