Why Canada Never Had a Prayer in the Worldwide Cannabis Game

One, Canada “only” has around 37,000,000 people in the entire country that covers almost 3.9 million square miles.  While that may sound like a lot of people, to put it in perspective, the state of California has 39,000,000 people.  Even with a small exodus of people from California due to high tax rates, the single state has over 2 million more people than the entire country of Canada.  Canada just doesn’t have enough people to consume all the cannabis it grows, and due to Canadian taxes on legal cannabis purchases, over 70% of all cannabis sold in Canada is still done on the black market according to the most recent estimates.
