Over 80% of the pot grown in BC is exported to the USA... so until the USA wholly legalizes weed (not in our lifetimes I don't think?) it will not change the criminal nature of its production locally or the resultant gang issues that surround it.

Pretty sure USA doesn't give a shit too much about BC bud when Washington has it legal now,compared to early 90's when that's when news would always be talking about it...you think they would hire the professional growers as a career maker by now vs relaying on bc bud being illegally imported
I think intake use of pot is gonna spike in the start and go back to normal...There is gonna be people trying just to experiment in the start,then say its not for them.
The Tax?..Hopefully just the same as cigarettes,The question is there gonna be 20 Joint pre-rolled packs from the government or it easier for them just to sell to us by the grams without any fancy marketing packs?.
i also think when it does turn legal,its gonna be a Game changer for Tourism,there's a lot of fucking beautifully scenery here we're so use to and take for granted...

Maybe more people wont be buying it because it's legal now but I think more people will be inclined to buy through the new companies selling the product. They have discussed how the price will be lower to compete with the existing illegal market, and in the end would you rather buy your beer from the guy who makes it with a home brew kit in his basement or from someone like Sleeman, Molson, or Granville island brewing? Sure your buddy has been growing plants for years but he doesn't have millions in funding for R&D or a team of people who have made growing and studying plants their career. People will recognize that higher quality and consistency and go mainstream.

Already at this time 90% of the people I know get the majority of their weed from dispenceries.
A lot of the dispenceries now only check ID for age their not even looking for the "perwcriptipn" etc

The laws will affect those people which is a good thing IMO, the value of there product will go down. | When I looked into it a couple years back, almost all the legal grows were being caught growing a lot more than they were permitted to grow. The RCMP were also wasting a bunch of time "busting" legal grows because they weren't allowed to check if a place had a license beforehand due to some medical privacy nonsense.

It's dangerous as fuck to run a legal grow here, organized crime be all up in your face trying to snatch your crops from you. It's no joke, literally taking your life into your hands.

so anyone who can buy alcohol / cigarettes / a porn subscription, can just walk into a dispensary and buy weed now ? doesnt sound too bad tbh. and if im correct taxes are already being collected on weed. its just included in the price of gram, so hopefully BC is already benefiting from these tax dollars and that can influence weed becoming legal or not

It's really bad for driving laws, driving while high is still considered driving under the influence... so expect to see lots of 24 hour suspensions and charges against people who don't understand this and testing machines that will be able to read what drugs you have ingested.

Cons threaten to hold it up. They are so out of touch.

What’s everyone think about the thought of the Canadian market being way too small. Like market cap or a couple billion dollars max. Which is too small to take off (investment wise).
Weed smoking wise. All smokers will be winners.
But asfor long term investment. I doubt any weed company in Canada can turn into juggernaut like amazon or whatever. It’ll be limited by our low population.

That is unless we start exporting our weed globally which I highly doubt. Any place that legalized it would just grow their own.
