    I can also safely assume there was no violence involved in the weed I buy from the government.

    Maybe that makes me a fool.
    why would that make you a fool?

    why is the quality of the legal stuff secondary? i have obviously noticed this as well, and is an annoyance to me, but obviously not enough to make me switch back.

     A regular here, I won't name names, has had a few meltdowns here saying that people who buy legal weed are fools.

    Last cannabis I bought was from my LP, Aphria
    10grams for $30. Called growers blend. $3 per gram.
    18% THC
    That is cheaper than any black market dealer ever and it's safer
    I do not trust BM cannabis because of the fact they they don't care about the person who consumes it. ie) flush with water for last 7-10days of growing. I am betting the BM growers do not do that as they want a bigger yield. I am not into smoking fertilizer.....

    I met a buyer in Denver who choose to buy REC, when getting a licence for MED was easy and the cannabis was cheaper. When I asked him why he said he was not about beating the system and was already happy to stand in line to buy legal REC(and at a higher price). Not every one is gonna play that card but I do get it.

    The growers blend from Aphria has not been available to purchase for several months.  And I am thankful.  They do not consistently keep it in stock. But that grower blend is really not good stuff.

    The grey market  is still the black market.  Government weed is any weed grown under health Canada licences.  

    One thing about Cannabis that is grown indoors, there is absolutely nothing green when it comes to the environment.  These facilities use vast amounts of resources and have no real environmental plan in place.

    No province will ever separate.  And there is no serious talk of separation from Alberta.  Unless you consider a few opinion pieces and billboards ads as serious.  Quebec sent 32 separatist to Ottawa, not Alberta.  The provinces will continue to work with Ottawa...so what if they bitch and moan.  

    And none of us should ever want a province to separate.  It’s easy for B.C. to laugh at Alberta...but a separate Alberta would be a nightmare scenario for all Canadians, the same as Quebec...We are stronger together.

    Weed was illegal for 90 years or so.  People were buying off the blackmarket for years before government weed came along. I do not recall people dropping dead from buying weed off their dealer...LMFAO.

    It looks like government weds makes you paranoid...

    And you have no clue what goes on in those facilities.

    Dude, I've said on here that I avoid legal weed because it's poorer quality and not well-managed. I objected to your comment that anyone who doesn't feel the same is a fool. If you can't handle that, enjoy your vacation.

    I was buying off the black market because there was no other choice. now I can buy a product I know hasn't been tampered with. Have I ever bought weed that was tampered with? that I know of, maybe once or twice. nothing major. But why take the risk? it's fine if people are willing to take that risk, but I'm not. i have a wife and kids. there have been incidents of shit being laced with fatal substances. "it will never happen to me". famous last words. it's not paranoia. it's just being safe. if you have a dealer where he knows where he gets his stuff, or grows it himself, good for you. most of us don't have that luxury.

    do you buy liquor off some guy off the street, just because of a higher alcohol content? of course you don't.

    I guess there is a lot of us risking it all on the black market, saving money and not contributing tax dollars to the crooked government...

    5 Reasons Why the Cannabis Black Market Won’t Go Away

    Meanwhile, analysts at Scotiabank estimated in early February that the black market would be responsible for 71% of total cannabis sales in Canada in 2019.

    Man, it’s been a bit of a rough week and a bit. Been up in Muskoka with my aunt and uncle who lean further right than I do. They’re pissed about the election results (my uncle would have people pass a test in order to vote, a view that preceded the vote), whereas I feel that the people have spoken so let the complaining about specific policies and legislation begin, lol.

    On my way back to the Liberal mecca of Toronto/Scarborough now, lol.
