In this video, I report from the mountains of British Columbia, Canada on the rollout of marijuana legalization as Justin Trudeau's Liberal government maps out their cannabis regulatory complex.
We talk with Chad Jackett of Grass Roots Medicinal, Liberty Farms and The Cannabis Growers of Canada on his farm North of Whistler about being self sustainable, the quality of privately grown cannabis versus the LP product, how cannabis gets from farm, to dispensary, to the table and of course the situation with legalization.
Chad, being a true free market business owner has worked hard to provide an incredible product which helps countless people in need of medical marijuana. With the new legalization agenda, small businesses will be unable to compete in the market in most cases due to heavy government regulation, taxation and therefor monopolization of a few major corporations, most notably those entrenched in Big Pharma.
Legalization is simply government taking away a right and giving it back at a price and that price is regulation and theft.
Well, speaking of those regulations, they include a possible 14 year prison sentence for transfering buds. For selling to someone under 18. For growing or carrying more than the legal limit. That isn't an end to prohibition, that's prohibition times ten with a government revenue complex.
The taxes are $1 a gram and the quality of government, LP cannabis is terrible. Not to mention irradiated.
From Chad, we go to Grass Roots Medicinal in Squamish, British Columbia to talk with Molly Schneider about her experience working in the business, how important a free and open market is in the cannabis industry and the patients she gets to help in her day to day work.
This is an extensive issue that doesn't just stop at "legalization" but cannot be settled on for less. No one should ever settle for less than true freedom. Freedom of the individual. The freedom of individual demand. Not the coercion of the state as the public apathetically bows down with the chains they revere accepting further state servitude and propaganda.

Sounds about right. Government destroys the free market...helps all of their big pharma buddies and the people get stuck picking up the tab. I guess this is how you get that "free" health everyone speaks of.
Yup! At the end of a gun with 12 hour waits in the waiting rooms for a scheduled MRI 9 months later. By then you're already dead. Then when you add up all the ways we're taxed, it's about 65%, sometimes as high as 75%.
Canada is not a good place. lol
Ha. I went to Toronto for a comedy festival a few months ago...man I was taxed on everything. I'm not even from Canada. I guess we will have to wait and see how long this wealth redistribution works. Not looking too good in Venezuela.
lol I hear you, Canada's heading in the same direction. Taking a lot of leads from Germany too unfortunately.
They have been doing it over and over again. It's this crony capitalism that interrupts the free markets and plays favorites to special interest groups who are in the politicians deep pockets. That is why the Blockchain needs to thrive. An open source public ledger that cannot be manipulated, changed, and can be seen by all. We need to go back to sound monetary policies and stray away from Keynesian Economics.
God, that sucks so bad... I used to go up to BC all the time when I lived in Seattle, and the buds were always superb... Those came from Kelowna or Pentincton, I think, but were always organic and tasty...
As a current resident of Colorado, I see the cannabis industry being taken over by Monsanto, and other big agra firms... They buy the fertilizer companies, like General Hydroponics is a big one... It's getting so that many dispensaries in Denver have explicit labels on their product, how no inorganic chemicals were used to grow it...
We need some international standards NOW!!
(sorry, I get really passionate about this... It is the only medicine that helps my autism...)
LOL!
If I'm smoking it on the street and it's not "illegal" then how will they know where I got it from? Sure gov monopolizes everything, but it doesn't stop the black market from supplying things cheaper and better.
I agree the black market is better because it's a free market. The only problem is, the black market is even further criminalized under "legalization" where instead of 2 years in prison you can end up getting 14 years in prison for the same thing.
This is terrible.
Wow cannabies make it legalize

Good post
Damn, i thought we would get better products if govt's would legalize weed, and i was so impressed with Canadian govt legalizing marijuana, i even thought of moving there in the future, this is the kind of news that should pop up in mainstream media, instead of the click bait articles they do shower.

As soon as governments are involved, theft soon follows
surprised they have not cracked down on mail order marijuana yet!
Another example that proves that big companyies have nothing to do with true capitalism. It's more like communism for the elites trough cooperation with the state in order to avoid competition. That's why big companies like taxation, for them it is not a barrier to enter markets.
