With high taxes, a saturated market and few options, some of Canada's legal cannabis producers are struggling.

We're in the middle of an inflation nightmare right now, so I can understand why people are picking based on price. Weed's not exactly a necessity and it's gotta fit people's budgets. I've *never *seen a $5 gram at a dispensary in Alberta though. The budgetest of the budget stuff is around $7 and it's usually bone dry, tiny little half busted nugs. Basically shake.

I usually spring for the $12-15 grams when I buy flower because the product is typically higher quality and tastes better in my vaporizer. I'm admittedly not a heavy smoker - just a bowl here and there, maybe a few nights a week - so a lower price is less of a draw.
