oftenreading said:Ontario is going all No Name Brand on its cannabis stores:
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/03/09/ontario-cannabis-store_a_23381832/At some point in the summer of 2018, the Canadian government is going to legalize marijuana across the country. And as such, provinces are preparing for exactly how they plan to sell it.
In Alberta, they'll be issuing licenses for cannabis stores. In B.C., it'll be a mix of public and private stores that will offer weed for sale.
In Ontario, pot will be acquired through government-run stores, and on Friday, the province revealed exactly what those will be called, and what the marketing effort behind it looks like.
LCBO CANNABIS
The Ontario Cannabis Store, the official brand of the LCBO's cannabis arm, notes the logo is "designed to convey a safe, simple and approachable environment for consumers, and agency employees, in a clear and easily understood manner."
Emphasis on the safe.
And of course, it got immediate feedback from online commenters........
Earlier I read a "study" that cannabis is safer and more effective than opiods...duh!0 -
That logo cost 650 000 grand...can’t make this shit up with the Ontario government these...
stas canada did a study and found on average consumers in Canada pay 7/gram...not the 10 plus tax that Trudeau thinks.
i’ve never paid more than 8/gram...

I am a little bit stunned by how badly Ontario is fucking this up, lol. Glad I'm in BC.
PS - I pay $8 - $10 for a gram in Vancouver at a medical dispensary... and that is absolutely fine with me. Back in the 90s grams were normally $15. The price has gone way down. If taxes or capitalism make an AAA gram $10 - $12, I'm totally cool with that. I consider that very affordable.
I never realized how many Canadian pot smokers were whiny fucking princesses until now btw. Jesus, it's becoming legal, it's going to be affordable, we'll see more tax revenue without dinging people, and some folks are just bitching and complaining. It's ridiculous. Talk about punching a gift horse in the mouth.

when ontario first introduced its legislation regarding pot stores...the news interviewed a person coming out of a head shop, she was asked her opinion on Ontario’s legislation, she said “she gets hers at 6/gram and her dealer delivers to her within the hour”, that’s customer service at its finest.
I can get mine for 4/gram from my medical supplier...16% THC.I think the 4/gram is their answer to compassionate pricing.
Many medicinal suppliers have compassionate pricing, but usually you have to prove you are need...

In good conscience, I could never take advantage of that pricing system (similar program here); it'd be like using someone else's handicapped parking placard.
I buy by the eighth and usually pay $60 - $75 for the better quality stuff. The taxes though! Even with my prescription, the last time I paid over $43 on a purchase around $330. Still, no major complaints from here.0 -
^^^who said I’m taking advantage of it, I never it was official that it was sold at that for compassionate pricing...that’s my guess...but whatever.Give Peas A Chance…0

.... All that changes real soon obviously, but until the summer, what most might consider "legal" medical weed isn't technically legal as far as the federal government is concerned.
In any case, there should still be medical pricing for those who need it for that purpose. For everyone else whining, they are just recreational users who want to save a few measly bucks even if it means harming a great new industry in Canada, and are apparently making plans to break the laws and keep the black market going, and support organized crime in many cases, just to save $2 or $4 a gram. It's ridiculous.
