My reaction anytime a politician tells me how much they do to help the cannabis industry, when I know what they are really doing. #itkyk

Holy crap. New amendments coming to the Canadian Cannabis regulations. Being published on March 12. These were the ones about removing regulatory and administrative burdens affecting LPs. This is what happens when our industry speaks up and works with staffers. 👍

This is the story from coast-to-coast. Provinces taking the lions share of revenue from producers, giving customers one more reason to go back to the illicit market. Enjoy the ill-gotten profits now while you have them.

Another day, another generic response from the feds. There’s literally nothing yet. The things they’ve announced in past years are meaningless. Shame shame.

Fix the Environment and Watch it Bloom...

If the Canadian #cannabis industry is interested in its long term future, the time is now to put resources into creating a whitepaper to educate any incoming government what a prosperous future looks like.

“Babe wake up, ATIP search results just dropped and I want this one.” It’s the sequel to the original briefing on distress 3 weeks prior which was 🤯.

Talking Heads already in the background was perfect.

You can call me a lot of things, but not closed-minded.

Watching this to learn. And to see how many of PP’s soundbytes will apply to the cannabis industry if he gets in.

Discussing hard-working folks being punished for doing the right thing (licensed producers), economic stimulus (🌱) and more.

Lately, I see more and more folks saying things like: “we need the Conservatives to come in and fix our cannabis industry!”

Our industry needs action from government to write their own wrongs, absolutely.

Please don’t forget ignorance towards cannabis comes from all over the spectrum.

@poitrasj.bsky.social are you in the loop re: coordinated cannabis taxation agreements? GNB signed on the dotted line stating they’d keep markups and margins reasonable in support of the objectives of legalization.

Then, they give the crown corp this mandate?

Lots of files if you’d like. ☺️

Just obtained a copy of the mandate letters given to the crown corporation in New Brunswick that’s responsible for this distribution and sale of legalized cannabis.

So, GNB signed onto the tax framework which states they couldn’t profit immensely, but give this mandate?

A few pages from an internal briefing from the federal Dept. of Finance staff to Minister Freeland from last year. Obtained via access to information act.

They know the provinces are in violation, they know it’s killing producers, they care not.

Working on getting the latest one. 🤯

The language in the tax agreements say markups and margins must be reasonable, only to cover operating costs, capital expenses and to generate a normal rate of return.

This snippet from an internal Department of Finance briefing says no LPs are consistently profitable after 5 years (this was 2023)

We pick faves from a hunt based on a wide range of factors. Faves get picked before testing.

But here’s the thing, that doesn’t mean that when the team grows a banger that the work doesn’t get doubly rewarded. Best hunt we’ve ever had.

Seven Stars (Jet Fuel G x The Menthol) from Compound is 🔥.

The new potentials from our last hunt are headed out for testing. We’ve already selected our faves prior to testing. What’s the point of getting a potent result if it doesn’t meet all of the other criteria? Quality is so much more than a single number.

Last one from our hunt, we have the lovely Orange Headstash from Karma Genetics. We were hunting for fruity and sour. We got fruity and sour. One of our faves, the one posted here, is super orangey - reminiscent of a popular orange drink that used to be served at a fast food restaurant chain. 🍊

Can’t get better if you know don’t know what you’re improving on.

If you live in or have visited Atlantic Canada, you may know there’s a unique ice cream flavour called Moon Mist. It’s a weird combo of grape, banana and bubble gum and we think this Grape Lime Ricky from the legend, Subcool (RIP), is pretty dang near identical in aroma profile. 👍

Seven Stars from Compound Genetics is insane. We popped this pack from our vault as we love the lineage (Jet Fuel Gelato x The Menthol) and because we wanted to find a replacement for our former beloved Tiger Bomb. We found 3 winners in the pack, now to choose. This is one of our faves. 👍

Our favourite little sku is a 7g Farmgate only offering called Le Backdoor (same as our Farmgate) Series and offers a wide selection of options with great value. Pictured here, one of the current offerings. “Petites” of Red Velvet Run. with a big brother thrown in for good measure. 👍

Very interested to see how this cures out. OccoSour098 from the folks at OCCO Innovation. We wanted fruity sour and so far we’ve got pineapple, quince, with a hint of stuffing??? 🦃

It was an awesome day today. We were in to do some inventory and end of month things, so did a special Saturday open at our Farmgate. There’s only a few of us here, so it makes it tough at times.

Thank you to all of our amazing supporters. Also, average transaction of $125. ☺️☺️☺️

Hard to get a good pic in the windy darkness that is our drying room, but to say we are excited about Seven Stars (Jet Fuel Gelato x The Menthol) from Compound is an understatement. We found 3 potential winners from a 12 seed pack. Sometimes, you gotta be lucky, too.

Life is too short to be stuck in a hate-filled platform that violates your privacy in order for an evil villain to get richer. We will choose an alternative to that anytime.

Also, here are trichomes on beautifully purple leaves and buds from our last harvest. 💕
