Canadian marijuana manufacturers are sitting on 1.1 billion grams (2.4 million pounds) of the drug that they can’t sell as the country’s legalized weed industry runs out of puff.
Last October, Canadian cannabis firms had around 1.1 billion grams of harvested or processed cannabis sitting in storage. Around 95 per cent of that weed is considered ‘largely unsaleable’ because it has been spoiled by time, and because there’s just too much existing supply to try and sell it.
The low quality of the products as well as the slow process by which the provinces allowed for licensed stores to sell the cannabis in the years since legalization is being blamed for the destroyed stockpiles.
Big corporate firms that rushed into the newly-legalized industry have also been blamed the for issue by expanding too quickly.
Smaller mom and pop businesses which know their clientele better say some of the rules the corporate giants want – such as growing the drug indoors, to stop teenagers with drones stealing their weed – show how poorly they understand their market.
Canadian marijuana users also prefer to get their products through illicit means as about 50 percent of pot that is consumed north of the border is obtained on the black market, according to The Walrus. It is unclear why the demand for illegally-grown weed continues to boom, although experts say it may be because illegal dealers will sell people more of the drug than their prescription allows for.
Between 2018 and 2020, Canadian producers have had to destroy 500 tons – or 985,000 pounds – of unpackaged dried cannabis, according to MJBizDaily.
