That would seem to be a tough slog, but the Government of Ontario has apparently managed it!
Which comes as something of a surprise, because Premier Doug is reputed to have been quite the wily weed shark in his younger days. Then again, just because he was a renowned pot peddler, doesn't mean he ever made much money at it.
I know how it goes. You're selling a quarter ounce here and a half ounce there. You do the math and figure if you could just crank up the volume, you could quit your day job! You scratch together a few thousand dollars to buy a couple pounds.
To move this in a timely manner, you're gonna need a network. So you enlist a bunch of your pothead buddies. None of them have any money, so you front them the stuff and wait for the cash to roll in.
You wait and you wait, and you wait some more. After about a month, you realize there's precious little money rolling in, but you're getting a virtual tsunami of hard-luck stories. What to do?
Well, what are your options? These are, or were, your pals. Kidnap their kids? Kill their dog? After briefly considering your options, you decide to eat your losses, strike the offenders off your Christmas card mailing list, and stick with your day job.
But that was then. This is now. It's legal, and the government has a monopoly!
And they still manage to fuck it up!
