The AMT Marijuana Thread

It is not OK for an adult to give minor drugs...just because you felt like you might have been mature enough doesn't mean it should be tolerated, young people are impressionable.  The good news is he will be locked out of opening a Cannabis store in Ontario because of his criminal past.

Canada's chronic shortage of legal cannabis expected to drag out for years

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/canada-cannabis-shortage-years-1.4988195

No.  You mean a government controlled business has a shortage?  Maybe the should have left the entire operation to the private sector.

Of course, common sense says put off adding edibles until you figure how to supply the demand.  I bet the black market has no shortage of weed.

I went to a private cannabis store over the weekend and asked one of the owners about this. She says no, the issue they are dealing is NOT really about supply. The issue is that right now, the growers basically have no idea what they're doing. I asked her if this issue would be solved, and she confidently said yes, once we see the craft growers come in, over the next year or so, the whole market would straighten itself out. She said she felt confident that the quality and consistency of product, which right now is not very good, so it's actually that the most desirable product is in short supply while the market is glutted with less desirable product, will improve over time, and doesn't expect it to take more than a year or so.

Some clerk working at a retail shop likely has no real idea what the issue is in the supply chain.  But to say growers do not know what they are doing is extremely inaccurate.  Most of Ontario's supply comes from growers who have been in business supplying medical marijuana for years.  I spoke with my own supplier before legalization and was assured that we medicinal customers still come first and foremost and they have an excellent idea at how much inventory is needed to keep supplying the medical side.  The issue that they feel will be the biggest is that they may not know for a year or 2 just how much supply will be needed to supply the recreational side of these.

The representative I spoke with said they expect the recreational sales will be very strong at first and should level off going into year 2, this should give them an idea at how much recreational weed is needed on a month to month basis.  And as he pointed, they could easily grow enough within 6 months so they there would be no shortage, but what business wants to be stuck with 2 much inventory.

It's called growing pains.  That's to be expected.  Until they sort out the supply issue, they should hold off on edibles.  

I've already contacted my MP to voice my concerns about edibles coming online too soon, she will raise this with the minister in charge of the file.  She also did not think edibles will be legalized in 2019 with an election cooming, she thinks 2020 is more realistic.  The house will probably break in June and will not be recalled until after the election, she makes sense...

And once again the advice I got is from one of Canada's largest growers...

There was an armed robbery at one of the 3 new private pot shops in Vancouver on the weekend. One customer was shot! (he'll be okay). Obviously these places really need to invest in security measures... pisses me off though - we don't want these places to be like those jewelry pawn shops with the cages inside the doors.

'Greed' fueled Insys founder's opioid bribe scheme: prosecutor

Aren't opiods great.  I bet they spent decades in a lab before lazy government apporoves a drug that is killing thousands weekly.  You know what has been barely tested in a lab for decades, Cannabis...and people are not dropping dead from it, and there are 1000's of people who know the benefit to this weed.  Yet the US federal government keeps it illegal, because scum like this has likely lobbied a bunch of puke politicians to keep cannabis banned.

Legalizing medical marijuana gets strong 'no' from SC Attny General, infuriating advocates

“It is the most dangerous drug because it is the most misunderstood drug,” Wilson said.

“Attorney General Alan Wilson stood up at that press conference and said things like ‘doped and stoned’ don’t apply to medicine. Well, he’s obviously never seen people that are doped up on opioids because that’s exactly what they are.”

Another fucking idiot politician...American politicians are some corrupt ass backward politicians on the planet...

Here a tip for that asshole lawyer, it's OUR BODY.

Another state I’ve crossed off of states I’d never live in ..

I doubt he'll be in the same spot 3 years from now.
