Cannabis CEO pleads for Ottawa to shut down booming black market

I don't hear Labatt's complaining about home brew sharing, largely because Labatt's quality is superior enough to keep their market share. I wonder what would happen if Origram had quality product for sale...hmmm?

100x this. The quality of the product is less than most ditch weed, at the cost of high end hydro. Then if you even get their mediocre pot you’re looking at 15$ a gram and the “premium” that finally nets you some low end hydro pot for 17+ a gram.

Medical pot is not a black market, its quality growers who care for their patients. The thing is the people that organigram wants to squash are the people who can give the best feedback and improvements in the cannabis sector. Its a failing industry due to politics and management. You want into a government store and it feels like you’re a criminal under watch, you cant view the product you are getting in your hand, you can only attempt to return if the LP deems the reason adequate. Its like an expensive gamble at some pooh green or if youre lucky some shaggy green

They big players in the alcohol game do it. Cannabis sector should be able to share and allow craft growers, just as we have craft alcohol. Organi gram is just pissed off they can’t have a monopoly after lobbying for cannabis legalization. Saddest part is is that organi gram was originally just a small time black market company for medical paients, now that they have some political swing and way too much money they want to shit on everyone else that use to be where they were. Pure greed.

That's pretty upsetting to find out they were once small but it's the same here in Michigan and I'm sure in other states as well.

Props to the ogs

Their roots go back to the point of the head growers at organigram use to grow and sell to the older generation in my family

I feel sorry for the mom and pop types that got into the retail end and are watching their investments circling the drain thanks to gov't BS.

As to the LPs . . .
