RE:Canada and the OCS is really f'ed upThe problem isn’t necessarily the branding although that doesn’t help. The packaging regulations are ridiculous and will lead to so much waste. I haven’t bought from the black market since legalization but I will have to because my favorite strain (from broken coast which is owned by Aphria) is $47 for an eighth. That’s double the price of black market. And while I will still buy it sometimes, I don’t want to pay double what I pay every time.
As for stocks, I’m going to buy the dip on Aphria because Broken Coast is no joke and it’s very popular here. I imagine when more people try it, it will be very good for Aphria as more people choose it as their favorite strain. Aphria has a much better product availability than Canopy and Aurora too. Can’t find any Aurora where I live and Tweed never has supply lol. Anyway just my $0.02.
