It’s weed. Just ask around. The black market is alive and well because government weed sucks… it’s not like it was hard to find when it was illegal.

Same with fentanyl overdoses. The ones left selling on the black market..

Ya, it’s as dangerous as buying those eggs from the road side stands…

Plus you can also just visit your local First Nations dispensary.

My friend probably will be on a trip to Alberta if it goes too long

Just go to the reserves or order online. This cooperative has good product. https://igcollective.net/

They have no effect on us. Only the government monopoly. I welcome a long prolonged strike.

Can they sell direct from the grower?

[dasmo]

Can they sell direct from the grower?

They are sovereign. They can and are. In fact most are now. 

[todd]

They are sovereign.

Fine by me if they got the pot and booze.

Except for the reserves. They are not under the jurisdiction of the province. If they are growing and selling there is nothing the province can do.

[dasmo]

I should reframe that. They probably won’t do anything because they don’t want any more attention brought to this issue. Especially if it motivates them to make their own laws surrounding licensing etc. They are one a “Nation to Nation” standing with the federal government and this is being figured out in other economic areas.

“..Vikram Sachdeva estimates his B.C. chain of Seed and Stone stores has a good supply of products right now but agreed that could quickly change if the strike drags on.

Seed and Stone has a partnership with Songhees. Songhees website looks like all government product: https://www.songheescannabis.com/

You’re saying they can buy direct?

[dasmo]

I’m saying they could grow and sell direct. If they are buying government weed they are in the same boat since that goes through the path you outlined above.

[dasmo]

But I’m not offering legal advice

[todd]

I’m sure the public is being billed somewhere along the line, for it being held in an unnecessary warehouse.


Legalize it.

Legalize it.

You mean instead of monopolize it? 

[todd]

No, legalize it.
