Today we received our expedited pardons for simple possession of cannabis. We started the process on August 8 and they were granted on October 9. We are the 75th and 76th people to be granted an expedited pardon in all of Canada. It was really emotional to close that chapter.

Not allowing them punishes parents.

Is this…the WORST thing to hit the market? Retail is $160-$170.

is blocking reviewers and demanding apologies when reviewers “hurt their feelings” with constructive criticism. No conversation, just blocking. As a result, we’re discontinuing them. Our remaining D9 is going on sale today for clearout and we won’t buy again. /1

Children should be allowed in cannabis stores with parental supervision.

Once someone has a medical cannabis registration it should NEVER expire. People should be able to amend their addresses as they need or increase their prescription but once you’re medical, you’re medical. Period.

Children, under no circumstances, are allowed in the store. Not if it’s only for a “quick minute”, not even if they are in a stroller. My staff (and my mother in particular) do not deserve abuse for turning you away, (and definitely do not deserve to be called the c-word). 🤬

I can command the dog to “go help customers” and he gets up off his bed in the office and walks around to let customers pet him. If he’s not thorough enough or being lazy and comes back too quick I say “get back out there” and he goes out and gets everyone including staff. 👼

You can tell which retailers have LP deals by how much shit they talk about any given LP.
We don’t have any deals which is why there is maximum shit talking—we aren’t beholden to anyone.

I I desperately need to focus and am not able to smoke atm. I am a 30 mg girl and I don’t need the extra calories. If I wanted 30 mg. In edibles, I’d need at least 3 chocolate bars. Who eats 3 chocolate bars at once? I would way rather take these and eat the chocolate I like.

We don’t want to engage with companies that behave like children and think there will be no consequences. I’m not demanding an apology, because I don’t care. There are enough producers with good service/pheno selection who are open to criticism for me to buy and sell from. /2

Excise is killing cannabis in Canada.
The formula isn’t based in reality and needs to be reworked.
We *should* have some taxation but it shouldn’t be detrimental to the livelihood of thousands. Legalization will fail if the only companies who can survive are crown corps.

Sometimes LPs need to be spanked. Stores: if you want change, speak with your dollars. I implore you to put your money where your mouth is and support brands who (at bare minimum) have reasonable customer service and accountability. Stores have to have it, so should they.

We don’t as a business celebrate pride.
We do not order rainbow pipes to sell for profit from China (a place where there is no protection from discrimination).
We do not commodify identities. It is completely inappropriate to insert ourselves and to profit off of an identity.

If the OCS doesn’t offer us terms (we pay on receipt) they should also be paying LPs upon receipt (or a day or two before receipt, like they impose on us). There is no reason LPs should be waiting to get paid. They literally cannot pay their bills or finance inventory.

I don’t have kids. I attribute a lot of my success to that. So when I see other women with kids, especially single mothers, killing it in cannabis, I think they are superheroes or are pulling a Parent Trap on us. I can barely get to work on time with my hair combed.

The hill I die on:
Most LP problems stem from either:
The people with money to start LPs don’t know weed, just want their part of the “green rush”
Or
The people who do know weed don’t know how to scale up to this level of commercial production (used to much smaller rooms).

Maybe a hot take but:
98% of the infused pre-rolls are trash.
They burn like trash and mostly taste like trash.

Here is a picture of the edibles (and j’s) that were next to our alcohol at the staff party.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
If you bred the plant, you get to name it.

If you want me to sell it you can’t name it something dumb.

-nothing too froufrou
-respect the genetics

They need to get lower because a 78% mark up is a fucking insane distributor margin (when they are already getting the tax from it).
