New regulations may spark Canada’s craft cannabis revolution

Yeah! Karma is a bitch eh? You reap what you sow.

They had their chance to do the right thing and they did not .
Off with their heads

I think all micros will end up selling too LPs, maybe only legal route

Fuck that noise.
Lots of small guys hate the LPs.

 

[GroErr]

This is all good but if the small guy can't also hold a processing license and/or a license to sell direct to consumer or private dispensaries, the only market would be LP's. That's not a viable model, fuck LP's.

The language in the regulations isn't clear on whether micro growers or processors can also obtain a license to sell direct (e.g. via web site). Has anyone seen or heard anything clearing this up?

Been wondering this exact same thing. Some clarity on the situation would be very nice.

 

[R.Raider]

K I sent Health Canada an email requesting the regulations and a application. See what they say I guess.

 

[The Hippy]

Selling to an LP would make me sick. I don't need no stinking LP's
Last thing I'm gonna do is run something for somebody else. Fuck them adding any markup to my hard work.

 

[The Hippy]

Carry on as we always have boys..........This is just a rouse to kill the BM and get your info.

Really comes down to the way retail licenses are done and so far licensed producers supply legal outlets.

I don't trust them. They're just trying to coral whoever they can catch imo. Many more details on the selling aspect would be needed to satisfy me.

First wave will go to try it (myself included) after that everyone will know someone for a 160-200 zip instead of 340$ zip

It ain’t going to 50$ for about 2yrs if it ever does. Aslong as cops are funded and busts happen bm will go on.

Probably won't make sense for someone to get this if they only have a couple of lights though. Licenses,regulation,testing,taxes, business permits, inspections. Versus just hooking up close friends and family = win/win

It could be viable if you can be a micro/craft grower and sell direct to consumers. In that case you'd need the micro grower, micro processor, and the license to sell direct if that ever gets cleared up/allowed. Otherwise you'll be limited to sell your wares to LP's, at cost if you're lucky. You're right though besides what you listed, rent will be a big part of your monthly costs. There's no growing in your basement if you want to go legal, it'll need some investment and a decent business plan.

Rent and power...dont forget the power.

For sure, you're looking at $2-3k/month just in overhead before labour. Northern towns can be a little more flexible (with land-use classifications) and cheaper if they have the infrastructure/services available. I'm picturing a Parry Sound or the like. But it really depends on the licensing options available, no hurry to be a slave for LP's myself.

 

[gb123]

natives on parry are trying but counsel is afraid....

 

[R.Raider]

Does anyone have the final regulations yet? I'm still waiting to hear back from Health Canada. Big surprise there. Praying that they don't have to sell to LP's. That would just completely fuck things up right from the get go if that turns out to be the case.

Why wouldn't the government make you sell to LPs?...remember LPs don't want anyone growing but them....and they've already spent millions too....
