The black market will thrive! At even $150 an ounce it is still very profitable, considering at the end of the day it is just a plant...

Hi All,

First Nations weigh in. Of note is the Bay of Quinte Mohawks who have more than 1 dispensary in operation. If memory serves me correctly, there was a standoff between the RCMP and dispensary supporters this past summer. I believe the RCMP were surrounded and after negotiation, were allowed to leave.

PEI . . .

  • the legal age for pot use will be 19, aligned with the province's legal age for alcohol and tobacco.
  • pot use will be restricted to private residences so as to prevent secondhand smoke and the "normalization of cannabis smoking without stigmatization"
  • Potential for expanding smoking to public spaces could be introduced at a later date.
  • The P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission will be the retail distributor for cannabis products. Though it will be sold in government-owned retail locations, marijuana won't be sold alongside alcohol.
  • operate an online store for Islanders to purchase marijuana and it will be delivered by Canada Post.

  • Legalized pot will cost Canadians about $10 a gram and Ottawa has agreed to give the provinces 75 per cent of the tax revenues to help cover costs of setting up the new regime.

  • Each gram of marijuana would have a tax of $1 on sales up to $10 and a 10-per-cent tax on sales worth more than $10.

  • Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said the price could be even less than $10 a gram as governments try to squeeze out the illegal market

MPPs passed the Cannabis Act 63 to 27, with support from the Liberals and the NDP, while the PC party voted no.

PS Make a huge note of who voted No & respond accordingly in the next Federal election.

Thank you Ian, Thank you CanadaWeedStocks,

Checking I.D. at the door?

Does this mean they're treating cannabis differently than alcohol? Does this mean no kids in the store?

Saskatchewan

  • The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) will issue approximately 60 cannabis retail permits to private operators in as many as 40 Saskatchewan municipalities and First Nation communities.

So it will be private sector stores with gov't distribution in SK. No word on minimum age etc.

PEI . . . more detail

  • Adults 19 and over will be allowed to possess 30 grams of cannabis in public. There are no restrictions in personal residences at this time. It will be illegal for anyone under 19 to possess cannabis.
  • The province plans to strengthen roadside suspension and create a summary offence in cases of drug-impaired driving with a minor. Convictions for summary offences usually result in fines rather than jail time.
  • The province will have four government-owned retail stores. They will be located in Charlottetown, Summerside, Montague and West Prince. It will also offer online sales with home delivery.
  • The province will get its cannabis from three companies, including the only facility licensed to grow medical marijuana on the Island, Canada's Island Garden, as well as OrganiGram and Canopy Growth

If you plan on it, start making inventory of growing equipment to grow your own. Retail stores are looking like they'll be a joke and half in the early stages so better to grow some dank strains of your choosing.
 
Delta 9 released their newest strain . . . Justin Trudope . . . an indica hybrid with 19.7 % THC for $9.50/g . . .
