This is, of course, probably a bad idea. There is a preexisting efficient network of high quality marijuana distribution in Ontario (at least here in Toronto).

This is, of course, probably a bad idea. There is a preexisting efficient network of high quality marijuana distribution in Ontario (at least here in Toronto). Even if the province does as well with marijuana as they do with booze (the LCBO is at least a pleasant retailer, aside from the rules about minors touching merchandise during shopping), the black market will be far more attractive to the mid and low shelf market. It is considerably easier to grow and cure marijuana than it is to ferment commercially viable quantities of an attractive alcoholic drink. The ideal legal weed situation is a legitimate version of the black market arrangement, which hasn't been a considerable health problem in any way that could be attributed to poor quality product. Pretending otherwise is just a typical legal trick pulled by established agribusiness/venture firms. Frankly it's hilarious at a time when the province is finally reintroducing private alcohol retailers.
