When it was legalized in Canada, the legal prices were pretty bad. There were also restrictions on only allowing the sale of flower (ie no edibles or concentrates IIRC).
Since then, the government has pulled up their socks. The prices are competitive, the quality is fantastic, and the doses are accurate (as opposed to a “300mg edible” actually having anywhere from 50-500mg THC).
As a result, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t buy from legal dispensaries. There still exist some grey area mail order services, but the concept of “texting your dealer” is largely extinct.
- k12sosse 5y agoI've been kicking this idea around in my noodle since judgement Day passed: a business like a local wine u-brew, where you come rent a stall in my warehouse and we grow your weed for you, in your name. When it's time to harvest, you can either take it home damp and dry it yourself or pay for us to cure it for you. Secure, safe, convenient. I can currently easily grow a (reasonable) year's supply for someone within the legal 2-plant limit, this just takes all the pains and theft-risk away from the end user (mom and pop Canadian backyard growers) Pretty sure this would be highly illegal under the current laws, but I'm old enough to remember when homebrew was illegal in Canada, too.

- hluska 5y agoI know a cat who’s trying to raise funds for this concept now. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a real pain to get going. Let me know if you’d like me to introduce you two - my email is in my profile.
- sharken 5y agoI wish more countries would pick up legalization of cannabis. Anyhow, i suppose there is still a black market for other drugs, that would be curbed with legalization. It would be quite a feat if Canada were to be the first, but it seems more time has to pass. https://biv.com/article/2021/04/most-canadians-not-ready-expand-drug-legalization-beyond-cannabis https://biv.com/article/2021/04/most-canadians-not-ready-exp...
