    Personally I don't care if it's legal or not... but some thoughts of mine:

    - It's worse for people who regularly smoke. Now they're under the spotlight.

    - Speaking of spotlight, trudeau's handlers are laughing right now. The media is reporting nothing but weed related news 24/7 now. Meanwhile trudeau is importing terrorists, sending killers to vacation lodges, giving our money away to other countries, failing negotiations world wide and just spiraling the country into a great depression.

    - Drug dealers are still cheaper so there's still going to be a "black market" for weed.

    - It's nothing but a revenue generator for the government which is fine but I hope the extra monies goes towards increasing our capacity for mental health support and help reduce mental illness problems like voting liberal and drug addiction.

    - It should be up to the parents to educate and indoctrinate their kids with morals and how to deal with drugs because drugs has always been around and will continue to do so. It's how we act on it that can change.

    - Cannabis is a lot more important than "smoking pot". These "weeds" grow easily, have little impact on the environment so we can start growing it and using it for textiles, paper replacements, etc... go back to where we were before the paper and cotton industries destroyed the cannabis plant.

    - Has the government actually done an impact analysis? Will we have more cancers or other health issues added to the system due to an uptake in smoking pot?

    - The alt-right needs to shut the fuck up and get with the times if they want to defeat trudeau, stop giving the god damn leftist garbage a reason to vote trudeau.

    You realize you have to show proper ID at the Post Office to pick it up? I suppose you could get a fake ID, but if you were going to go through that trouble I would suggest you just keep getting it from your "local" dealer.

    There is a huge shortage looming, which the government has been aware of.

    Each licensed producer (LP) is required to report to Health Canada various aspects of their operations. One is how much dried cannabis does the LP have in inventory. As of June 30, 2018, the last reporting period, there were collectively 40,000 kg of dried inventory, that equates to 40,000,000 grams. Sounds like a lot until you realize Health Canada has estimated the daily demand will be 10,000,000 grams. That’s 4 and 1/2 days of sales. We all know how well governments predict events, so I feel the demand will be higher. One reason for high demand is there is a potion of the population that wants to try it, but will not do anything illegal. Yes demand will level off and so will production, but it does take 90 days for the plant to mature. Also there is a lot of export of the product to Europe. In Germany the price of a gram retail can be as high as $80 CDN. Why wouldn’t an LP export ..... a lot more money.

    We will see. If you want to predict what might happen look back at the end of prohibition. The timeline is very similar. The first step was medicinal alcohol, the full legalization, then consolidation of producers. The last one hasn’t occurred yet but it will.

    The consolidation has been happening but will accelerate. Several of the stocks I've bought have either been merged or acquired by other companies over the past few years with the last being my position in ICC being acquired by my other position with ACB recently.

    The full on consolidation will occur once the over 400 LPs in the licensing que come on line. The larger LPs will feel some pressure and will want to buy out the competition. Also we are now seeing beverage companies wanting in. I feel some pharmaceuticals will want to buy in to off set possible reduction in opiate sales.

    Once mine is fully up and running, I am hoping for a buy out offer. I’m too old to operate this for more than 5 years.

    Yes, ID is required - Canada Post process is similar for shipping firearms (in terms of delivery procedures).
