Here's the government run liquor store in Moosonee, Ontario [0] Moosonee is a town of 2000 people in northern Ontario. It is an 8 hour train ride away from Timmins Ontario (train or plane access only). Timmins is an 8 hour drive away from Toronto. I can't imagine a situation where the marijuana prices in this town would be comparable to downtown Toronto given the amount of labour needed to transport the marijuana to this remote location. And I'm not really speculating, we see this all the time. Citizens of our northern territories (YK, NWT, NT) are used to paying $25/L of milk and so on. Sure this is a bit of hyperbole, but it points to one of the perks of government run/controlled distribution, namely those in the cities can help to subsidize the price for those in smaller towns across Ontario. Is this government controlled model the best? Probably not but let's remember this is unchartered territory. We can look to the individual states for learnings (ie. Colorado, Washington) but Ontario is 1 million km^2 and California is half that with a much greater population density. They are different in many ways. 0 - https://goo.gl/iFNkaC https://goo.gl/iFNkaC
