Pot supply not the problem behind cannabis industry growing pains, The Problem is the Government! – April 18, 2018,
Do you see the image attached this post? If you can’t it’s a picture of $1.6 million in pot allegedly seized in a Markham traffic stop, I think near the 407, different news outlets reported the story differently, you can read about the seizure below.

Why do I bring this up? Because if you look at the picture a few things should be pointed out, firstly, the Ganja is packaged, it was being transported and it was ready for consumption, the STREET value of it was $1.6 million, yet because “legal” cannabis has to go through the government machine, according to the article below titled: Pot supply not the problem behind cannabis industry growing pains, makes the argument that the government is the problem, without of course actually writing it.
I know based on my history dealing with Canadians that they’re easily brainwashed and there’s obviously an attempt by the powers that be, to make sure that cannabis in Canada functions similarly to OPEC or The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. engrained into the fabric of that article is
Elliot asks if the Ontario Cannabis Store — the sole wholesaler of cannabis in this province — has reached out to enough producers. In Quebec, where shortages have also been rife, the province has agreements with only eight producers, he says.
The Ontario Cannabis Store, which runs online sales and supplies pot stores in the province, has agreements with 36 producers.
“At the end of the day (however) everything Canada is experiencing is virtually identical to challenges that states like Colorado and Oregon faced when they legalized at the state level,” Elliot says.
The reality is, the government for obvious tax purposes is trying to find a way to extract as many taxes from people as possible. Whenever people talk or write about private sector propaganda, what’s often ignored are silly schemes like the ones being promoted big government stooges!

Understand it was the government who created Pablo Escobar, unnecessary regulations, criminalizing something that the market demanded and also trying to manipulate people into believing drugs were things they weren’t. The government created a demand for drugs that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Now the reality of drugs especially in a higher IQ society is if you explain the side effects of drugs, without criminalizing it most educated people will stay far away from them. This is not to say you wouldn’t regulate them or force producers to label the ingredients on their products or even fine people who weren’t operating a legal business. However the moment the government steps in and says only a special group of people can have access to a product that let’s be honest isn’t a nuclear weapon, people will instinctively push back.
Laws are meant to be challenged, laws are meant to be broken, I’ve never had a desire to consume cannabis or Cocaine, I don’t smoke, I rarely drink, but if you meet some people, that’s simply what they like to do, and most of these people aren’t violent, nor are they bad people, they simply enjoy things that I don’t enjoy. Yet, there’s a war against these people, these people could actually be job creators, innovators if you pay attention to non-violent criminals a lot of them ave fantastic logistical and business-related ideas.
But because the government is in the way and because the government tries to artificially restrict supply in order to raise prices so they can obviously get more tax dollars to pursue their own objectives a whole new type of criminal emerges. Pablo Escobar wouldn’t exist had it not been for governments all over the world declaring a war on drugs. There was a huge demand for Cocaine and bartering with consumers would have been a far better solution than making the drug illegal which made it more appealing to the younger crowd. The Vice video above was used to illustrate what would happen to the Cannabis industry if the Government got out of the way.
The reality of the Cannabis industry is that because it’s nothing more than a plant, that if producers don’t add any value to it, the price for it, will remain low. This is not to say that there isn’t much value there, but in order for cannabis to have any real value in the corporate space, people would have to do more than simply wrap something up in a package or bottle for people to smoke. Well, the propaganda Pot Campaigns are in full swing and if history is our greatest teacher chances are the market will lean towards the black market. I don’t know anyone who likes to go to a Government office for anything, I don’t like going to Crown Corporations either, if, given the choice nobody goes to crown corporations or government offices, even people dependent on Ontario works/Welfare don’t like going to Government offices.
Interesting times ahead
