THC Caps (maximum amount) in the adult non-medical use framework could be at some point mandated lower than in the medical use framework.
THC content in legal framework less than its Black Market counterpart.
High taxes on cannabis or perhaps just taxes above and beyond the HST and in particular any tax on medical cannabis.
Linked to the above – all-in final price of cannabis to the patient/consumer.
Poor consumer choices of products and particularly on the medical side where delivery methods such as edibles and beverages may be desirable compared to smoking and vaping. Lack of options may prolong Black Market presence.
Overboard on enforcement.
-Or is that not enough enforcement?
-The United States Administration clamping down further including on travellers.
-What if the United States Administration reschedules Cannabis and Canada potentially losing its current position as global leader? We know the FDA is likely to reschedule CBD before long based on the recent GW Pharma FDA approval.
-Black Market convenient supply and distribution.
-Consumer recreational home grow non-compliance – how to enforce?
-Inability to properly brand and market (including advertise).
-Politicians and other high-profile individuals and organisations who either out of self-interest or ignorance appear to perpetuate the negative mythos reminiscent of the days of Reefer Madness by using, for example, terms such as “weed”, “pot”, etc.
