If you have been buying weed since before legalization, you might already know the answer to this, but for those who don’t, let’s break it down!
Before 2017, there was a thriving “grey market” business of dispensaries, and almost no one was selling online. The notable and successful dispensaries had unique connections to ethical, craft growers who were masters of their craft. The quality of weed in Canada was never better than the years leading up to legalization.
Once the switch flipped, the new Cannabis Act made it supremely difficult for any of these “grey market” stars to make the transition to the legal space. As a result, with their doors closing, most of these dispensaries moved to the online space, equipped with their customers email list, and essentially moved everything online.
All this to say, the cannabis products that you can purchase from an online dispensary (which we now call the “legacy market”) is largely the same group of cannabis rockstars that were ruling the industry pre-legalization. So what does that mean?
It means high quality product at cheaper prices. Because we buy straight from the producers, there is no tax or markups. In turn, that brings you product at a much better price.
For products like edibles, the difference is vast. In the legal space edibles are no more than 5 or 10 mg THC per piece. In the legacy market, we offer up to 2,250 mg THC products. The easiest way to remember is this: what the legal market charges for 10 mg THC, we charge for 100 mg THC.
