You could also blame the government inefficiency in QC. The stores are government ran. The one in Montreal on St Catherine has permanent bread lines at any time of the day. Some of the product is sold out first thing in the morning and you need to arrive an hour before opening. It’s like Soviet Union of weed.
- koheripbal 7y agoQuebec is always a special case of bureaucracy and government mismanagement. Remember that all liquor stores in Quebec are government stores too. I suspect they'll start distributing them there - possibly dependent upon neighborhood approval. I'll note that the neighborhood I'm in - the older folks are not happy about the new constant pot smell around.

- Deinumite 7y agoI wouldn't say so. The original plan was to have the LCBO handle sales of marijuana as well. The Liberal government that was drafting this plan lost the provincial election and the Conservative government scrapped that it. So it nobody learned any lessons, we just had interesting timing with our election.
- Scoundreller 7y agoSorta. The retailers still have to buy from the provincial monopoly warehouse. Unless that's been changed. It changes everytime we sneeze.
- mynegation 7y agoWhat is the lesson though? I have zero problems with LCBO.
- ttul 7y agoThe Québec situation makes me wonder whether the mafia / bikers influenced the process to keep the black market alive for just a few extra years.
