The Dire State of Craft Cannabis in Canada: Industry White Paper

Canada boasts a cannabis culture that’s second to none. For decades, thousands of growers grew premium cannabis underground, creating an impressive global reputation for its quality. Being the first country to roll out a medical cannabis program and the second to fully legalize cannabis, Canada seemed set up to lead the global cannabis industry. Instead, licensed cannabis producers have struggled mightily.

Why hasn’t legalization led to prosperity? What barriers are holding the industry back? Why is the craft cannabis industry in Canada having such a difficult time right now?
