You speak as if the ignorance of "refer madness" does not exist in Canada. It does. And some of these people that actually think like this being allowed far more influence on this matter than any one who will be a consumer! Millions are being made on the stock market by companies that to date have not produced a gram of weed for sale! The whole thing is a completely compelled by greed! Both on the part of the government and the growers. Imaging if a farmer growing hay list his company on the Stock Exchange on next years crop, shares are traded every one that had those original shares gets rich, and the crop fails!  So in this situation you have a government a license to a group of already proven liars, they turn around make millions before they have ever planted a seed! Wake up Canada!
