Re: Canadian Government Moves To Increase Taxes On Cannabis Products
Just found an interesting article on the the use of Cannabis vs Pharmaceuticals in Canada.

(ps. Pharma is losing)

Canada: Consumers are replacing pharmaceuticals with medical marijuana

Edit: this could be another reason for increase in CannaTax.

we need more Docs on board but they got to push the pills

i am personally saving WCB a grand a month on stopping taking the pills and smoking/eating weed
 Quoting: KLOWN

I believe edibles, drinkables, Vape and capsules will overtake the dry herb very soon. Within the next 2-3 years, they will be everywhere.

Re: Canadian Government Moves To Increase Taxes On Cannabis Products
ah now you know why the government is legalizing it.


keep the population stupid and complacent and the tax

bins full of cash
 Quoting: Jake


we all knew it was about $$$$$

you think your or my government would ever legalize something to actually help the people

weed does not make you stupid either
 Quoting: KLOWN


nah just a little lazy... but we are in a fucked up world

at least we are not putting people in prison for pot
 Quoting: Jake


This is why I was never for legalization...just simply decriminalize it. Then everyone stays free and so does the market.hayseed

Here, in Hamilton Ontario, we have things a bit better off. We have and will continue to support our private dispensaries. There keep shutting them down, but public demand allows them to reopen several days later, or even the evening after the closure.
If you support the dispensaries they can afford to stay open and just pay the fines off. The police must do days and days of jumping through hoops to get a warrant.
The cops remember the decades of dudes on every downtown corner selling dope, the murders and robberies all related to selling cannibus. They know private dispensaries are the way to go if they want to see a reduction in crime.

Re: Canadian Government Moves To Increase Taxes On Cannabis Products
I'm into Cannabis investments too...

There are many MANY stocks flying high right now and in April there will be many high quality IPO's coming out.

I've been watching this one stock, small cap (actually tiny cap) but great upside potential once they get their lic. at the end of this month.

Yesterday I bought 100K shares at $0.11 I just checked my TFSA...the are now at $0.135...I just made 22% in one day...fk am I happy. I guess more people are finding out about this.(SUGR)

Although I'm kicking myself in the A$$ for selling out too quickly with my ACB...the run up in the past month would have paid for my entire year of living expenses...oh well.

Private (legal) dispensaries are and will be a very good revenue for those who are able to obtain a lic.

Once the 25 stores open in Ontario April 1, the ON Gov will be setting up another lottery for retail Cannabis shops.

I am going to make sure I buy a ticket. :)

Just grow your own you lazy hoser.

It’s legal and you can horde it in several provinces.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77162350

Would LOVE to, although there are many restrictions that prohibit the cultivation of Cannabis in a home dwelling...i.e. living in a Condo. I own my condo outright but the Condo board prohibits it. So unless you have a house or a landlord that is OK with you growing in their property...you're kinda shit outa luck.

Wow, our weed is about to become more expensive than it already is.

Currently, our weed taxes are:

10% Cannabis Tax + local, provincial and federal... ~13%

May 1, 2019, they want to include a $0.01/mg of THC.

So a cheap $10 gram of weed (the good stuff is 12-15)

$10 + 10% = 11
20% THC (0.01 x 200)= 2
11 + 2 = 13
13 + 13% = $14.69 for 1 $10gr of weed.

Wow, that is a 46% tax from the base price.

And they want to get rid of the grey/black market??? Hahahaha.

In Canada, 1/8th is 3.5gr which the the max they allow per package. So if you wanted to buy 30gr (1oz) you would need to buy about 8 packages (28gr)...that is a huge waste of plastics because our 'packages' come in a pharma type (child proof) container.

Re: Canadian Government Moves To Increase Taxes On Cannabis Products
Another HUGE issue I have with the current system is their weights.

Two weeks ago I bought a 3.5gr container, (Aurora/MK Ultra). When I got home I put the contents on my scale. It weighed 3.1gr. When I went to the shop a week later to buy another one, I mentioned to the 'bud tender' about my weight discrepancy. She said you have to make a complaint to the AGLC (Alberta Gaming and Liquor Control)...she also stated that many people have been making similar complaints.

So I took my new 3.5gr purchase home and weight it...this time 3.0gr...and the quality is shit. These producers use "Tumblers" to trim their weed...it may be faster but certainly lose the quality (you lose a lot of tricomes in that process).

So yea, the quality vs quantity vs price is certainly not worth it.
