Still waiting for them to increase thc limits on edibles!

Grey market I can get 10x20mg gummies for $14, and I'm good with one of them.

I'm also a fan of the beverages, but I would like to have an affordable 12 pack of say 2.5mg drinks so I can take a case to drink casually throughout the day

The market will demand edibles go up soon enough. It's at the point that people need to consume a whole pack at a time once their tolerance builds up.

If I were a supplier, that might sound like a feature, not a bug.

Bro, there are cannabis shops on every damn corner. There are legit more cannabis shops than coffee shops where I am from.

No shit they can't stay a float. Plus I see new ones opening all the time, DIRECTLY BESIDE already established ones.

I swear these people must get high before coming up with the great idea of starting a cannabis shop in Canada.

I still buy from the same guy I first bought from in 1966, the legal stuff cannot match his quality or price... Also his cannabis looks exactly like legal pot when it is in a baggie. I get 25mg edibles from another guy at a very reasonable cost. The federal government never even once seemed to have an idea of the costs the black market charged, as on opening day the cheapest legal pot I could find was 3 times more expensive than the higher quality stuff I have access to.

That’s no dealer, that’s a career budtender

Yeah why the fuck would I want to pay $50 for a half gram of live resin when I can get an entire ounce for $250-270 from the grey/blackmarket producers and extractors under the table lol.

I haven't gotten blazed in like a decade. How is the stuff in the legal shops these days? Particularly since I can't roll to save my life and have a bit of asthma, are the pre-built filtered smokes okay? I know they're ludicrously overpriced, but I'm not planning on smoking a lot - I mean quality experience.

I haven't been to dispensaries in Ont. Just Sk, Man, AB, BC. This is mainly regarding bud:

Due to storage regulations, shits usally dry as fuck. And if you care about more than just the thc%, you won't find much. Might not be best for an asthmatic person. I'd just look into edibles tbh.

Grey/blackmarket or homegrown is vastly superior quality over all in my experiences

Thanks for the heads-up.
