Canadian Government Moves To Increase Taxes On Cannabis Products | |
VetsMom  User ID: 76736558  Canada03/20/2019 02:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey folks, what you have to do is take a trip to your local First Nations Reserve. Northern Ontario here. Most Reserve have at least one dispensary. Politicians and cops don't dare fuck with them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76744705 Yeah, heard that from my step Dad who lives out of town and hears these sort of rumors. Those on the Rez will be left alone...like they always are i.e. cigarettes, guns, etc. "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were Treated and Appreciated by their nation." ~ George Washington |
| KLOWN User ID: 76738177 Canada03/20/2019 02:56 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another HUGE issue I have with the current system is their weights. Quoting: Mr. Canna 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. then they make oil/shatter out of the crystal and sell for 30 a gram |

I ask because Tweed didn't have any Bakerstreet oil after legalization but AGL&C did - in a weird container mist/spray that you couldn't open to see the contents...for $100, $10 more than the producer.

Those on the Rez will be left alone...like they always are i.e. cigarettes, guns, etc. The Indigenous groups played a pivotal role in the signing of the Cannabis Act (Bill C-45) last summer. They almost put a kybosh to the whole thing if they weren't given support (financial/training/lic applications, etc.). Similar to what is happening in NY. The "African/American" groups are putting a stranglehold on NY passing a bill for Cannabis legalization if they too also don't get special financial and training support. Their claim is "too many white rich guys getting all the opportunities and getting richer". Well, get off your ass, become an entrepreneur, create a business plan, find financing that can accommodate your business plan and apply for a license. No different than any 'whitey' will do. So tired of people wanting something for nothing!!! Grow Your Own |

But still, 600Kg of dried use-able flower at the current wholesale of $5/gr...that is a cool 3M/yr. Edit: even if you have 50% cost (which it is not that high) you still walk away with 1.5M ...not bad for doing something you love (growing) and making serious bank.

The commercial growers have market caps and projections to maintain so the more pot out the door, the more revenue. I recently spoke to a "Master Grower" for one of the larger LP's and he said exactly that. Jokingly he said "they are forcing me to grow teenage girls, not women"...I LOL'd at that. Grow Your Own |

Just recently found a local nearby and have tried a couple of products and I think there is a difference in quality for sure. Instead of napping during the night it's now a solid seven. Hubby just harvested a couple of plants and it's so much nicer than the producers which I hope to not use so much in the future.
