All things weed were invented in BC, since it was decriminalized I see........big money put into the industry, just as fast..... big money lost in the industry and after the initial group hug, the reality of a flooded market has it sorting itself out.

Regulation requires time and money, the smaller "mom and pops" are under no such regulation and weed can be purchased from the "mom and pops" cheaper than from the regulated vendors.

Previously, weed was the number 1 industry in BC ahead of logging and mining, not anymore. I think the idea of decriminalizing weed was a political move to pander for votes, but really has just shifted things around like a shell game...pot shops struggling or going broke.

Weed has gone from $2,000+ a pound to $500 a pound so.....if anything has changed it has freed up law enforcement for other things.
