RE:RE:Canada's market alone to be worth 10 Billion by 2025 !!! Suggesting the black market cannabis supply is safe and reliable is just plain ludicrous!

Black market gummies 1000MG is $20 dollars. An ounce of flower is about $100 bucks from OCS. An ounce on black market is $40 or $50 bucks.
Government in Canada lose Billions per year from illegal cigarettes and every time they raise taxes on tobacco they lose more...
Will legal cannabis ever become a big generator of revenue when the black market expands
all the time?
If you could find a reliable safe source for beer or liquor for half price what would
you do?
The reason the black market prices are cheaper is they don't have rigorous protocols or regulations to ensure QC&QA. When was the last time you saw black market weed recalled for mould or 'accurately' report potency or date stamped to ensure freshness.
If you think black market weed is 'safe' your dead wrong. It may not kill ya but it can sure as helllll can make ya feel like shyte!
Bet your bottom dollar the level of Delta 8 THC is completely uncontrolled in black market products plus total THC and CBD are completely without controls or consistent.
Let's not talk about the pesticides, herbicides and over fertilization that takes place. Let's not talk about the other contaminants like deceased insects and fecal matter. Let's not discuss the other drugs that show up in black market weed.
The reason the black market continues to flourish is that far to many stupid people value money over consistent quality and safety.
Go ahead and smoke that garbage rag weed. Enjoy the green out.
I prefer to know what I'm smoking, eating and drinking.
Good luck mates.
cheers
