There are 20 sqdc in quebec. Trois-Rivieres, my hometown, has a single one which is +- 20 min away from my house while Montreal, which has 10x more people than my town has only 8 of them.

Im unsure about the black market in other town, but my coworker still grow 30-40 tree/yrs outside.

They fucked everything up. I know there were big issues with major gangs making money ect..... but no one seems to get that there were soooooooo many mom and pop operations making a little tax free money that went direct into the communities. They were buying quads , snowmobiles from local dealerships. Paying cash to local restaurants. There were people who couldn't find other jobs for reasons that could trim and grow to support themselves. It was a great industry for the lower to middle class to rise up without being screwed .

Oregon has way too much pot too. I'm starting to see signs for $20 ounces. Pretty soon they'll be giving it away free with a fill-up.

Yes, I realize it's illustrating how old I am to talk about fill-up freebees like it's still the 1990s.
