The Big Show...Despite our Canadian desire to be a big player in pot legalization.
Let's be honest .... California is the big show... 37 or 38 million people live in California... larger than Canada.....
By my understanding, recreational pot will be legal in California on January 1, 2018.
Nevada went rec legal on July 1, and immediatly they had pot shortages which caused some pain for some legitimate medical users who could not get supply...
I was in California, in spring of 2016, at that time my great friends said that it was so simple to get a medical card that all you had to do was show up and fog a mirror or say you had back pain and you got a medical card.....In California, it has been so simple to get a medical card that it is no deterant to the marketplace.....
So the supply of CA pot has grown to meet that demand... CA has a vey well advanced pot culture...This law that will finally be in place for rec pot in CA will probably not result in the kind of painful supply problems that occured in Nevada... a State that did not previously have a well developed medical pot culture as California has.
Everyone knows that CA pot laws are a farse....meaning anyone above the age of 18 can get a card and so the suppliers there have been meeting that demand for years... It is huge...
We need to be humble in Canada... we are only one of the leaders in this industy and we are late to the party... Californians.... Colorado folks and many other States in the US have been doing this for a long time... and are the leaders in this industry... We need to do our best and look for opportunity (especially overseas, as I think our managment has been doing) and learn a lot from other places, especially California and Colorado and other places...who have really taken the risk and made pot legal, not like our Canadian poiticians who have cowarded in fear, thinking this would effect their re-election... Let's face it Americans have led the way here... lets all just be happy about that, and thank them.... Thank you America on your pot liberalization....
And for all of you who love Conservatives and Harper... remember what he represented... he would never have allowed this pot industry in Canada, he would have rejected ACB.... ACB is the opposite of what Harper represented and he would not have alllowed it if he was still in power...
Drama teacher snowflake, Trudeau is willing to allow you the freedom to make a buck on the cannabis market....
Think about that next time you vote.....
Long ACB...
