“Thus, many cannabis consumers did not see a great moral, ethical or safety advantage to switching from their benign, long-term providers to the new legal system.” Indeed, many “legacy” growers see little benefit to switching, and don’t want to endure the time, expense and red tape of going legit.— many spending decades honing their skills in the province’s long and storied cannabis culture — who said Canada’s legal system has no place for them.

Not one thing they do is run efficiently and effectively. They can’t even be successful drug dealers.
