The supply of legal pot in Canada will only meet 30 per cent to 60 per cent of demand after legalization, keeping the black market very much alive and stunting the government’s tax take, according to a new study.
Cannabis supply will reach about 210 tonnes, or 210,000 kilograms, in the first year after Canada legalizes marijuana this month, according to a study to be released next week by researchers at the University of Waterloo and the C.D. Howe Institute. Demand, meanwhile, will be about 610 tonnes.
“There will not be enough legal supply, especially during the first half of the year following legalization, primarily because of the slow rate of licensing producers,” Anindya Sen at the University of Waterloo and Rosalie Wyonch at Toronto-based C.D. Howe said in their report.
It's probably worse in the US. If legalizing weed can help a little bit then why not. Fewer bucks for big pharma.

What? Big Pharma will be the only ones profiteering from legal weed and they will unleash hell on anyone who tries to undercut them. So no more growing yourself or getting the sweets from the local dealer, instead only altered, mass manufactured weed for the small of price of whatever the fuck the Jews want it to be. Also enjoy your hobby drug in-between millions of mainstream addicts.

It's funny how trash like this is super important to westerners. Degenerates who only think about useless trash. You would think it super important issue with all media and people behind this trash

Not quite. I'm allergic to pot smoke. I'm going to become a prisoner in my own home thanks to Castreau.
