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

Maybe I don't get the nuances, but isn't this just the free market?

It gets legalized, tons of shops open up. Turns out after the initial rush it's not very profitable to have half a dozen shops in the same town? Everyone competes, lowers their prices, some shops have to close (the ones with the worst locations). Duh?

Exactly. You shouldn't get a bail-out because your risky investment failed.

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah!

We only do that for airlines. And oil. And housing.

Gotta help out the little guys!

Don't forget cable/internet/cellular companies.

Or because you are fighting to keep the cost of your moldy shitty weed sky high, behind the thin veil of government protection, from a free market that can kick your ass at half the cost, to the benefit of the consumers?
