Iâm shocked that people arenât lining up to buy sub par weed inconveniently and at double the price!
Only the Canadian government could somehow screw up selling drugs lol
So with legal sales dropping, do you think if we get a conservative government, with all their buddies losing money hand over fist, does anyone think they will remove the 4 legal plants from the public seeing as Quebec and Manitoba have said no to it already.
Doubtful they will toss the 4 plant law. I do however think they will start aggressively targeting Canada growers again. Comes into question actually if this is the purpose of these laws etc⌠to keep the war on drugs alive and strong, which is a profitable business for our goverment. Also they get to double dip by arresting for selling it and making money from selling it. Not to mention all the taxes collected off it and all the heavy fines they slap on legal sellers like what we just saw in Ontario.
All I know is we are not safe in Canada with these meatballs at the helm. The entire Canadian pot industry is over run with ex police and ex politicians. Itâs as corrupt as it gets. Very sad to see the people who started the industry muscled out by our goverment.
Looks like thatâŚyou cant stop the war on drugs aka black market by price gouging
Harvest time is going to be interesting. Thereâs going to be so much seed weed around people will be giving the stuff away.
@Schmokey wouldnât have that problem if people were smart and used clones to plant outdoors then there wouldnât be a shit ton of seeded crap but then again the government is just as bad at selling seeded shit
I hear that. I got chatting with a customer a couple weeks ago about growing a couple plants outside. If he is typical of most, my decision not to grow outside this year was probably a good one. Any of us who are in an urban area and use outside air for ventilation would be wise to invest in a high quality filter that will trap pollen
I see three options: 1) clones, 2) fems, 3) ID the males early and pull them.
If you are talking guerrilla bush weed, all bets are off.
I donât care much either way. My seed weed gets me just as high as sensi does.
One thing to note about âseed weedâ - it could put you in jail.
Why?
Many people may not be aware, but under Canadaâs new laws 1 seed = 1 gram of dried flower
So what?
So, if the home possession limit in your province is xxx grams of dried flower, and you have xxx grams of dried flower that contains xxxx # of seeds, you are technically WAY over the possession limit.
Example; in BC the home possession limit is 1000 grams. If I have 500 seeds in the jar in my fridge, I can only have 500 grams of dried flower. Easy enough math.
However, If I do an outdoor grow and it goes to seed, and I harvest 500 grams of seeded bud (with how many thousands of seeds?) I am potentially fucked.
Not something to âworry aboutâ per se, but definitely something to be aware of.
In Canada There is no possession limit at home. Only out in public which is 30g
Honestly itâs just a supply chain issue, a major one, right from the production to the distribution. ITâS ALL public, and everyone knew it was not going to compete. There is not enough legal supply either because the good private business that get to produce have to wait for licensing and they canât produce efficiently or responsively since the distribution is so pathetic.
Think of alcohol in Ontario, public distribution does fine, because it sells THE SHIT. âThe shitâ is produced and shipped reliably, and of top quality, by the worlds greatest private production businesses.
LCBO has what we want and no one else does⌠It is pretty much the opposite for weed.
If the government wants tax revenue then they need to fix the distribution more than anything. I know they are licensing private companies. But they are trying to rebrand strains in attempts to own the rights ect. and avoid copyright battles. They canât do this. That like saying: âoh no you donât want an Audi, try this new Canadian version called the Cowdy itâs just as good or better, but it will take one year before you actually get your carâŚâ The marketing has been internationally established (or starting to be) since the 60âs and has grown to be quite sophisticated, not unlike craft beer. We know what strains we want and we know what quality different breeders/growers produce. The growing and distribution need to be timely and reliable, not strangled by licensing and rebranding, and EMBARRASSING PUBLIC DISRUBUTION. Ultimately they have implemented slow and expensive, SHIT supply chain that HAS NO CUSTOMERS DEMANDING THEIR PRODUCTS.
Ever heard of Amazon? why do you think store fronts in general are dieing. If you canât give me top quality at a fair price within one hour I am just not interested.
We have no choice but to buy illegal and the government has no choice but to seriously change their business plan if they want to actually create a legal industry and therefore tax revenue. HIRE SOME FUCKING TALENT. Not some old tenured bureaucrat who only ever just tried his first puff!
If there was a âwalmartâ or an âamazonâ in the distribution and A LOT more quality legal supply, I would buy legal.
The provinces set the home possession limit. In BC it is 1000 grams, AFAIK.
I must have lucked out in NS, there is no home storage limit. I checked the other week, when I saw my medical licence had no storage limit on it.
My acmpr limits the amount of dried flower allowed in my home. At least I am pretty sure it does. I will check my paperwork.
Mine did last year but not after it was renewed in March, which is why I was checking it out.
Thatâs what happens when they hire people who never grew weed before to run massive operations. Moldy bug infested weed like we seen from OCS in the first few months. Itâs no wonder why the sales arenât as expected.
That looks like the old green form like I had last year, the new one is yellow in colour. Under Maximum Quantity of dried cannabis authorized to possess, mine is 105 but thatâs out in public or in my car travelling, not home storage. On my old form it has a section for home storage which is no longer on the new form.
Last year my home storage was 675 grams.
There are no maximum storage limits for Alberta.
