If quality has been a concern – please consider looking for product from Greenman Acres in Meaford, ONT. They are a small cultivator of premium 100% organic cannabis. It’s legitimate product, by a great team. Their mission is simple: capture the client the old fashioned way – earn their respect.
I think the added temporary interneuronal synapse connections thanks to cannabis and especially the psychedelics are literal wiring upgrades to our brains that can be made permanent through normal neuroplasticity learning. These new connections give parts of our brains new access to both our current sensory perceptions, heightening them and making us more appreciative of everything we experience, while also giving parts of our brains new access to memories making even our memories heightened with literally new mental perspectives on them (explaining ‘flashbacks’). It’s like a physical empathy, giving our brains the ability to have new and more diverse perspectives on everything, past and present.
These substances widely have the reputation as creativity-enhancers but I think actually they’re empathy-enhancers creating new perspectives, giving artists greater ability to imagine how a wider audience will perceive their work while it’s in progress, making it more creative as a result.
Legalize, release, expunge and give industry advantages to the minorities most harmed.
Don't you think that canada has still cut into the profits of the black market by making them charge less. What was the black market price before legalization?
What a shock. The main issues with legalization is price and supply. Not crime, death/health, etc… the things that we are told will happen. What a joke.
Sure price is a big factor but the quality of the legal cannabis sucks. It's all setup to keep the black market booming setup by Bill Blair so police get more of your tax money.
Money,and pot,booze, you'll have the whole U.S. senate, in town? Oh wait,it's legal in D.C., they just like 22vets killing themselves every day,on pharmaceutical companies poisons, how many ppl,have seen erratic behavior, after antidepressants?

Justin Trudeau… now that cannabis is legal not many more people use cannabis.
Now make it legal to hire and fire whoever you want unless there's a safety issue.
Less government is often better.
Just make the weed cheaper and we will buy it legally
Glad to see there is now 5$/g option now, with SQDC anyways

$5 "Black Market" weed? Who's this guy buying from?
Your welcome FROM ALBERTA
Here's a question for you. How many canadians also grow their own now and dont buy any?
and there would be no black market if it was never made illegal in the first place

Nope, no more weed for this guy.
Really? $15 a gram on the black market? I've never paid more than $10. Right now I'm paying around $7.
Black market weed is just as expensive for quality only difference is you CAN get super super cheap stuff if you want
