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

The large producers lobbied the government to protect their investments by writing a regulatory framework that kept small, air and sunshine producers out of the market. Their indoor, monoculture product is often contaminated with mold or illegal pesticides and is of low quality. That means that the majority of people still get their pot products through the black market.

They shot themselves in the foot and are now whining about it. Maybe when they're all bankrupt the government will pull their heads out of their asses and write a realistic regulatory framework. Until then, will just have to watch the large producers flounder and fail and listen to them whine.
