RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Another great move by aphriaBuddingInvestor, I agree that rec market will be legalized before July 1, 2018. We seem to be on the same page that a complete roll out will take some time for provinces to implement. Even if they go with a mail order system, volumes will be lower until all provinces are clicking on all cyclinders.
By way of example, lets assume Ontario selects a LCBO model for one of its distribution channels. I can see this type of model taking at least one year minimum to implement. The province would need to identify and secure locations. Do they lease or buy? Build vs renovate? Train staff etc... then you would need to deal with municpal bylaws, zoning etc at the municpal level. All of this would take time. My point being was that when Rec is introduced it will fit nicely with Aphria's timeline, even though I suspect Aphria miscalulated the initial rollout date.

Trudeau has already stated that provinces not ready for rec will use the mail order system. In my opinion current plans of expansion are going to be nowhere near close to supplying the rec market. All LP need to grow faster. Demand will severely outdo supply in my view. It sure is fun to discuss this historic event.
