After nearly ninety-five years of hiding in the shadows, Canada decided to do the unthinkable. As unlikely a character as is Canada, nevertheless, in October 2018, the Canadian government voted to legalize recreational marijuana, making Canada the first major world economy to do so. To be fair, any individual with some sense and a printable political science degree could’ve guessed that Canada would continue its progressive track record and legalize pot.
Initially, it seemed like an incredible idea to legalize recreational cannabis, given that it would reduce incarceration rates, keep individuals safe from consuming non-regulated products, as well as give a nice boost to the Canadian economy. Though all of that seems well and good, Canada forgot to consider the fact that cannabis users might possibly prefer buying their weed from the black market.
In the months following Canada’s legalization, a national poll was taken, asking respondents if they purchased weed from legal dispensaries, or from their dealers. An
One of the largest deterrents to cannabis consumers procuring product through legal means is that, within a month of legalization, legal dispensaries were nearly out of stock. Rather than stockpile product, which many of these stores did, they should have developed a mechanism that could allow illegal producers to gain easier entrance into the legal system.
In the weeks before Canada’s legalization, Afzal Hazan, president of CannaRoyalty Corp, a provider of royalty financing to regulated cannabis industries, suggested that the excitement exhibited from new investors was similar to that of moments in history when people invested in an industry they didn’t feely comprehend.
“There is a Google or Amazon of cannabis lurking out there somewhere, but trying to find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. People that invest in those companies are going to do phenomenally…But there’s also going to be a whole lot of people that get up in things that turn out to be a flash in the pan too.”
– Afzal Hazan President CannaRoyalty Corp.
When Hazan refers to companies exhibiting “flash in the pan” characteristics, he is suggesting that the commotion surrounding legalization in Canada will not create long-term gains for investors, it will be short-lived and unrepeatable.
