Pig in a poke dealIf you do your dd , BC government buys all mj products for sale in BC . Then they distribute to government retail stores and private retail stores but the government stores sell the same product cheaper . This makes it very hard for private stores to get higher margines , still compete with goverment stores and pay thier overheads . Bonehead play for Gaia grow share holders , they will get sales but little too no profit and that is the name of the game .
