  It seems that they've managed to set things up in such a way that it's actually more profitable to destroy the cannabis than process it. Reminds me of the neoliberal take on housing and healthcare.

    Not just housing but even more so commercial and industrial facilities where property taxes give great incentive for scorched-earth demolition in response to only nominal downturns in occupancy or utilization. Always with less than one-year deadlines before reassessment since these are recurring taxes, one of their most destructive features.

  One problem with processing it is that there are very low limits on dosages of edibles in Canada (currently 10mg THC per serving). I think lifting this absurd restriction would help enable those ideas.
