Pot cost $0.10-0.25 per gram to grow indoors and almost nothing to grow outdoors. Corruption, greed, narcissistic, mean, evil...it is beyond words to charge Canadians $8.00 for something that cost so little with a gun to their heads. Even by companies with ties to the Liberal party.

The problems are massive. They are not getting rid of the black market.  Canadians can grow 4 plants in their backyard with minimal effort, 4 plants can produce 4kg's, which can be sold to their pals for $16,000 dollars! Heck even at $2 a gram it is an easy $8k. Forget chickens or tomatoes folks.

Canadian pot head will spend $4000-10,000 from the weed shop a year. No. They will grow in their basement, in their closets, in their condos. Think of the waste of electricity. Think of the smell coming  from bellow of flowering plants. Think of the mold problems. It is very bad idea. Pots needs to be sold @ 2-3$ a gram to be fair and dissuade home grows and the home markets.
