Would like to read something on the cannibalization phenomena re: your last paragraph. Link me if you can.

  There was a bunch of it at the beginning of legalization in Canada I remember reading about. It took forever to get supply. Then you had to be an "established" medical marijuana provider to get pre-approved which locked out the "little people" to start. Then there weren't enough approvals of the supply because the procedures were so involved. Then there weren't enough people to approve the paperwork even when it was finished. Then there were local vs federal issues. In all, it was the standard gigantic bureaucratic clusterfuck, with the added problem of large incumbents dragging their feet and throwing grit into the gears of anyone trying to fix it. Someone better versed with Canadian politics would probably be better at pinpointing it all because it wasn't just one single thing. It was a slow-motion train wreck.
