Many of you are familiar with the Ontario LCBO, the government monopoly that sells liquor in Ontario. While I have nothing against crown corporations, I have found that much of the whisky I choose to buy is more available and cheaper elsewhere.
The link that the CCBO has to the LCBO, is that originally when the Federal government announced its plans to legalize recreational marijuana, the Ontario Premier mused that it could be sold at the LCBO. This drew criticism as there was concern about multiple impairment.
So, in its wisdom, the Ontario government is setting up the Cannabis Control Board of Ontario. Welcome to the new world of overpriced marijuana!
Side note, the picture in the article is of a legal grow-op in Smith Falls Ontario. The link to me is that when I was in medical school, on our psych rotation we were asked to visit a residential school in Smith Falls for children with many developmental syndromes. The incentive was (not marijuana) a side trip at the end to the city's Hershey factory. Every 6 weeks we would submit our orders to those going. The grow op in the photo is in the now closed factory. "Chocolate Malt" stand aside...
