RE:Simon's Explanations
the problem with the pot sector is unlike beer and whisky business, not everyone can make quality beer or quality wine or qaulity whisky and lots of work to make distilled whisky.
pot is like tomatoes and anyone can grow pot and almost no barrier to entry and price of pot has dropped 50% compaared to when it was illegal
labour cost has gone up.
it's not the taxes, not the 'illegal market' it's just an oversupply of pot and industry is oversupplied. unprofitable operations either shut down or go out business.
