Well the legalization coconut has now dropped. As much as most of us don't like many or most aspects of the legislation(I'm looking at you 4 plant count), it's important to remember, as others have already pointed out, that we here aren't actually very representative of most Canadians or cannabis consuming Canadians. We have our pet strains and breeders and genuinely love this plant. We have odd little boxes in our fridges that contain seeds that at 4 plants will probably take multiple lifetimes to work through. Most people I've met over the years that consume cannabis, even heavily, don't care about pedigree, curing time, what type of light was used or where on the VPD chart the grower had their room. If you start to talk about those things to most people, their eyes glaze over( not in a good way) and then they ask one simple question: does it get you stoned? And then you say, well yeah of course it does, but the important thing is how teaming with life your soil was. Crickets. In this new market place most people will probably go based on smell/taste and description of effect. Happy grape? Sold! is likely to be the mindset of many consumers.
As for importing sun grown from warmer climates, it will happen. This is now all about economies of scale and production cost. That being said a lot of companies, whose boards are jam packed with current and former politicians have invested heavily in production infrastructure here in Canada. they will want to protect that investment. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. If you are or were a black or grey market grower who based their entire financial livelihood on growing cannabis, you should have been polishing up the resume years ago as we all saw it coming. I do feel for those small communities who basically have economies based around money from cannabis growing, but it wasn't going to last forever.
Let's see what happens in the coming years and if and how the laws change, keeping in mind that some freedom has been gained for Canadians.
