Other than the primo strains, Canadian legal weed is cheaper than buying it from a dealer. I pick up ounces for $100.

There’s a lot of misinformation in this post, clearly based on emotion rather than the reality:

Sounds like the price is too high.

While this is true in some cases, most of these LP’s are producing flower that can be picked up for ~$100 an ounce. For Canadian Weed, that’s great. Especially considering on legalization it was closer to $400. Not a single dealer I used to use pre-legalization can match the price point of legal weed right now.

This is also a luxury product. Not a necessity. It will be priced where the market bears. The problem with our current over-supply is manufacturer driven. Producing more weed than Canada would consume, even if it was free for “business” reasons.

Stupid fucking government.

Government doesn’t set prices. Cannabis prices have actually bucked the inflationary trends and have gone down overall in the last couple years.

Are you not trying to disrupt the illegal trade?

The illegal trade isn’t going to be shut down overnight. Especially given that most places allow personal growing, so it’s going to happen with people selling to eachother. Even if it’s technically illegal. However, the illegal criminal organizations that used to thrive and require pot sales? Those are decimated and their involvement in the Cannabis trade is decreasing year after year: https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/trnsprnc/brfng-mtrls/prlmntry-bndrs/20200930/026/index-en.aspx

Why the fuck are you using their numbers, retards?

what? also really with the use of “retard”… really what are you. 12? Come on man. be an adult.

you should see the fucking website.

if you’re basing your entire purchasing / and angry rant above entirely on the ocs website for purchasing, you’re missing out 90% of the actual Cannabis market. Most sales are through retail. NOT online from the government. Yes the OCS is expensive as fuck. It’s the government run retail outlet. Don’t go there. Order from a local store. you will find much better pricing, and might even meet some wonderful people and budtenders too

Doug ford can go fuck himself with a forklift.

AMEN! 100%.

if you can make that much, but can’t sell that much, it’s cuz it ain’t worth that much not cuz nobody will buy it.

I highly recommend you to read why they were making that much. They never intended to sell that much to us Canadians. it’ was stupid business decisions to try and pry into the US market before legalization even happened there. Even if they gave this stuff away for free, it would be more than Canadian’s would consume because it’s more than the demand. Cannabis isn’t a staple or necessary daily product (for MOST people). it’s a luxury and therefore there’s a ceiling to the demand. Unlike staples and products we need to live, which has no ceiling.

AND FURTHERMORE, since clearly the government is going to read this, you might want to doublecheck that quality control isn’t just taking the cheque and AFKing, cuz from this end that’s how it looks!

Really? Have you had a really bad string of experiences with quality? I’ve been smoking for 20+ years, and the stuff I’ve gotten from the store, (while dry compared to older stuff), is 100x stronger, and a better smoke than anything I ever got illegally before. While much of the numbers are inflated (since we need better regulation on testing), the quality of weed now is truly astounding compared to how it used to be.

I can recommend you some amazing strains if you’d like.
