People are complaining that the Govt grown weed is shitty over-dried and full of stalk, and they estimate that it costs the govt. $16 000 to grow every oz. of this cark.

Its so bad that some people have been returning it ( and scoring from their old dealer Im sure.. )

Figures our Govt would spend our money in such a backward way, especially considering that primo bud has been going DOWN in price for years in the 'private sector' ..

Government marijuana has a high concentration of lead, cause they grow it in a abandoned mine. Wow, how novel, the government tries killing people over an illegal substance. - Sun, 2 May 2004 12:14am

Thats the shit they are growing in Manitoba (Flin-Flon). I think the price you were quoted comes from the fact that Prairie Plant Systems was paid 5.7 Million dollars for the contract. The government claims now that it has withheld some of the money in light of poor quality control. (There was too much variability in the seeds used.)

I wonder who exactly owns Prairie Plant Systems, because you can bet it ain't no ganja-loving farmer. My guess is whoever it is was tight with Alan Rock personally. Only friends of politicians get such sweet deals.

They should have chosen someone who loves to grow weed and someone who truly cares about the people who will be using it. I dont think Prairie Plant Systems (or the Government) has either of those in mind.
