Well each province is running it differently, some through privately owned outlets, like in Ontario. Nothing nanny about it. Yes the feds collect some of the taxes, as do the provinces to pay for important services. I prefer this to furnishing Rocco’s home with all the profits. The US states where it’s legal have sin taxes on weed too, It also helps prevent overconsumption. The price can’t be too high or else people will turn to the black market. Many of the biggest pot producers are operating out of Canada, the second country in the world to legalize pot. This is liberty folks. The libertarians love it.

Dougie93 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 If you say the 19th century Temperance Lady dictated policies underpinning the LCBO which owns the OCS, is not nanny, then we are at an impasse, because you are immune to evidence apparently, and likely aren't even aware of the nature of it.

Dougie93 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 They all have to take their supply from the LCBO via the same structure with runs OCS, they are not actually free market, what the government is doing is picking winners, which is did by lottery, for only 25 retailers, for the entire province, those retailers entirely subject to the same draconian rules imposed, Ford didn't cancel the LCBO as the government's dealer, the LCBO is simply running the supply chain by its OCS subsidiary, which is the same one which will run the retailers. Same as what Kathleen Wynne did with LCBO sales in grocery stores. The grocery stores still have to get the product from the LCBO supply chain, and they are directed as to what they can have and not have, and the prices are set by the LCBO not the retailers. So that is not actually private retail at all. Quote

If it gets too pricey people will go underground or grow their own, which is legal. Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) People go underground anyways, no actual evidence the black market will be effected, in Washington and Colorado the black market expanded rather than retracted. This is entirely for tapped out governments to find a new revenue stream, end the black market is just one of the rubrics they use in order to collect tax as government drug dealers. In Colorado and Washington the governments are not the drug dealers, so they're covered if it doesn't do anything other than make people rich in the end. Edited January 19, 2019 by Dougie93 Quote
Dougie93 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 The issue I am asserting is not even the black market, I don't think the Canadian nanny state model is going to make profits, because the nanny aspect is so draconian, that enforcement will cost more than net revenues, so it will be a net net loss for the taxpayer, and there will still be a black market, and the Americans will eventually have many states in the market, and they will eat Canada's marijuana lunch and corner the market as the Americans do every single time.
