Wasted Weed: Canada’s Disposal of 3.7 Million Pounds of Cannabis Since 2018 Oversupply has been a real issue for the cannabis industry.
I for one volunteer to pitch in
fr i’m a low thc enjoyer. i’ll take a few kilos off their hands.
Hey man. I’m just like… Doing my best.
Me too, eh! Rolls another one, while singing “Oh Canada…”.
It’s probably got a lot to do with the market being relatively new. I imagine things will settle down in the coming years as producers gain real data to base demand estimates off of.
Also, I think initially some people were conflating support for legalization with actual demand. There are many people that support legalization who don’t actually use the product.
This is me :)
If nobody wants it I guess I could take it off your hands. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, its call puff puff pass for a reason. Sharing is caring!
How about we change the title juuuuust a bit…
#Canada Destroys 3.7 Million Pounds of Cannabis Since 2018 Rather Than Let Prices Fall
That’s not really that accurate. The article explicitly says that much of the waste is caused by growers who overproduced low quality weed, when most of the market is focused on really high potency cannabis.
I miss low quality weed, I feel like I get too high now. Maybe I’m just getting old lol

When demand is high and supply is low they raise prices but when supply is high and demand is low they don’t lower prices, the lower supply.

That would have been the smart thing to do but they continued to grow when it wasn’t selling fast enough to begin with so I don’t think we’re talking about the most brilliant minds.
Lower the price???
Supply exceeded demand, it happens.
It’s a weird way to frame misspeculating and overestimating demand, but whatever makes you feel better, industry.
Can one compost old weed? Turn it into weed mulch? Could someone buy it wholesale and make something else? This feels like a problem a little R and D could solve.
Oregon has way too much pot too. I’m starting to see signs for $20 ounces. Pretty soon they’ll be giving it away free with a fill-up.
Yes, I realize it’s illustrating how old I am to talk about fill-up freebees like it’s still the 1990s.
I mean we throw away groceries in the same fashion, I think that’s just how capitalism works
Send it to Germany :)
We need it soon (hopefully)Scholz’s “Berlin-only-3-dispensary-see-how-it-goes” plan is insultingly bad. Clearly Germans want weed. Give it to them. Canadian productivity and Uruguayan productivity didn’t slump when we legalized.
Time to repurpose the land for growing real food rather than pollutants.
Pot shop on every corner in Ontario. Shops are usually empty anytime I go in. Picking up whole ounces for $100. It was a scam run by the province to sell dispensary licenses because Doug Ford only knows how to run scams instead of doing good business based on good policy.
There are 20 sqdc in quebec. Trois-Rivieres, my hometown, has a single one which is ± 20 min away from my house while Montreal, which has 10x more people than my town has only 8 of them.
Im unsure about the black market in other town, but my coworker still grow 30-40 tree/yrs outside.
Shops are everywhere in BC. I have two within walking distance.
