Are you talking black market again? Knock it off. You can't have black market product in a legal market. It'll never fly. As far as enough product for "dispensaries"? How many more do you think will open up once legalization kicks in knowing how many are tempting it now, which isn't a whole lot considering the grand scheme. Again...who's going to supply the retailers, other than LP's (because for sure there will be other retailers in the end), your black market? The mob? BC hillbillies? C'mon...get real. We are going to need big scale producers to meet demand in the future. When they start playing nice and stop bad mouthing the OG's of the cannabis culture then I'll start respecting them, but you still have to respect that there's going to be a need for them. Maybe setting up for legalization was the end game, not simply providing medical patients. That's thinking small and short sighted.There seemed to be enough supply before the LPs came along.
>NO..only way BM will go is when EVERYONE CAN GROW..not this BS...Haha. If you think there's any chance of legalization by leaving the BM in place you're fucking dreaming. Also, it's called wholesale. LP's will have to play the market game like any other business. Black market needs to go but the only way that will happen is when everyone starts playing nice and fair.
Uhmmm...NO. She's talking bout ma & pa black market growers becoming LEGAL suppliers. The cannabis community has the skills and experience only generations of growing can provide. LP's will never be able to reproduce the quality in a factory. Their roll will be to supply new patients and weekend tokers with over-priced schwagg until they become wise to the scam. Alcohol isn't limited to a few government chosen producers...why is that? Could the fact that booze is LEGAL have something to do with allowing all interested parties to go into business? Gee...I wonder how they are going to forbid any Canadian from participating in a legal cannabis market? That pesky charter! Try to name a retail product that has it's manufacturers hand-picked by government with exclusive production and distribution rights...why would cannabis be the one exception?Are you talking black market again?

I like the cannabis I buy right now in the Baggie....if you want to pay for all that packaging and branding bullshit, have at er my friend. Until I can buy what I want I will source it somewhere else. Legal means I have options available to me. The baggie is one of my options.>NO..only way BM will go is when EVERYONE CAN GROW..not this BS...
can you buy illegal cigs? yes you can and their legal so your arguement is flawed.Are you talking black market again? Knock it off. You can't have black market product in a legal market.

I get that and yeah playing the game as an individual is one thing, the ops post sure seemed to indicate more than a patient/DG growing some extra and offering to be a DG.Thats the thing...most DG's are not making money off the sick, and there's enough supply around now you wont stay in business if your product is sub par.
You can go buy a medical document, get licensed. I see that as playing the game not hiding. The best part is anyone can play.
Don't bet the farm on that?I think the day of buying your weed in ziplock bags is nearing an end. Branding, packaging, marketing. That's going to be the new norm for cannabis now.
Yup this is one of the most important aspects. Where are all the new folks gonna come from. There are none. They are already there and won't be duped into much.Does anyone truly believe there are millions of closeted people dying to try mj but won't til it's "legal?"
