One-third of Canadian cannabis users consuming illegal weed: Report

I think you can get 1 oz for $100 at the stores, how much is it black market?

One-third of cannabis users still buy from the black market despite the legalization of pot in Canada in 2018, according to the Department of Public Safety.

Smokers who buy from illegal sources argue they can obtain better weed, prices and service than what’s available in legal cannabis stores. They also have an indifference to dealing with organized crime, says a report by Blacklock’s Reporter.

“Very few participants see a connection between obtaining cannabis from illegal sources and organized crime,” said the report.

The report says Parliament’s pot legalization convinced users that “illegal suppliers should not be too worried.

“Price was an important — if not the most important driver — for getting cannabis products from illegal sources,” said the report. “This was especially the case for dry leaf and edibles. Quality was also an important factor.”

The findings were based on the responses of marijuana users in 11 focus groups across Canada who were interviewed by Quorus Consulting Group, a market research consulting company paid around $96,000 for the job.

“I am not a big fan of the dispensaries,” one participant said.

The relationship I have with my dealer is a friendly one,” said another.

“Many also described how their dealer does a number of things to maximize loyalty and customer satisfaction such as doorstep delivery, anytime service, the opportunity to see or sample the product, small bonuses, extra product and no-hassle returns,” said the report.

A Department of Finance submission to a Commons committee in 2018 said the point of legalization was to develop a safe, legal, regulated market.

I pay more at a dispensary but at least i know it's not laced with windex or rat poison.
Stop buying from the sketchy kid hanging out near the local high school and you won't have to worry about that...

The flaw in the dispensary system is that the cost per gram is the same, whether you buy 1 or 1,000.

I get my weed from a guy who's been selling weed as his primary source of income since the mid 1970's. The guy he buys from doesn't use his own product, so he gives my guy samples, and asks him which ones he should buy in quantity.

My guy doesn't sell anything smaller than half an ounce, and doesn't sell to anyone under 35 years of age. Many of his long term customers buy weed for their adult children. No one can deal with him directly unless someone he has known for at least ten years first vouches for them.

I see him about one every eighteen months, and buy enough to last me that long. There are four dispensaries within five minutes walk of where I live, but I've never been inside any of them.

This is ridiculous. How exactly can you "lace" the plant and have it grow to full potential.
I take that your not a weed smoker, but if you are then you a dumbass for not knowing.

There are legit illegal dispensaries. Price are the same though but there is no limit on what you can buy and you will find moonrocks and 1000mg edibles per example. Deliver to your place within a few hours. No lacing.

Welcome to the wild world of drugs my friend.
Also, why would any “drug dealer” spend extra money on materials to lace something like weed? Spending on cutting agents for coke, smack, etc ok but weed?

How much do you think it cost extra to spray weed down with Windex? A simple chemical off your local store shelf can give your product that extra hit, and no one would know any better.

I do not know if they still exist, years ago there were people trolling the city in pick up trucks with a unplugged freezer full of dry ice and bags of illegal uninspected shrimps for sale. You just do not know in what condition these shrimp were kept or if they were caught in clean waters. I would not buy seafood that has not been inspected because they may be injurious to health. If you buy illegal weed you are taking the chance that they were grown with hormones not approved for human consumption, or if the feds have sprayed it with paraquat herbicide and the crop was quickly harvested and dried before it withered away.

But how do you know that? Is weed sold by dispensaries checked? There could be ruthless growers selling to dispensaries.
Legal cannabis stores get their products from federally licensed producers. They are stupid shall they decide to tamper with their weed and lose their license.
