I doubt there really is a shortage. I truly feel they are claiming there is a shortage to drive prices up. Kinda like diamonds or oil lol

they say im crazy but i have a good time
...considering you can buy a pound for $1000 of mid quality i'd say yes... tbh all the greenhouses around me cant get rid of their supply fast enough
...which you'd think if the gooberment was gonna do it right they would TRY to eliminate the black market and not drive people towards it...

There are mom shops online that are selling nice bud at a nice price point. Don’t need to use government site.

Ahh the rock... a special place in me heart.
I finally got around to making a connection with my new dealer the government here in Ontario. I wanted to get a high CBD strain and the selection was not so great. I wound up ordering something called Yin & Yang, which they call a "nearly" 1:1 indica-dominant hybrid. For the record, it's listed at 6-10% THC and 9-13% CBD. I chose this strain because it also has a nice terpene profile (more on this later). When I ordered they only had 1 g pre-rolls, so I got three. I placed the order Thursday evening and my new pusher the postman delivered the package this morning (Monday). If they're looking for a way to bring the prices down to black market levels, this pic might provide a hint:
This is Amazon-level over-packaging.
The joint itself doesn't look machine-rolled. I have a mental image of dozens of workers sitting in a clean room wearing hairnets and hazmat jumpers, diligently hand-rolling these one gram doobies. Real life has turned out to be way weirder than I ever dreamed.
Naturally I had no intentions of lighting that thing. This is what it looked like out of the paper:
It was pretty dry and finely ground. It was dry but sticky enough to hold the rolled shape until I broke it up. There was no hint of any stems. It's not easy to tell much even with a magnifying glass because of the rolling process. You can see some trichomes and it looks to me like it's mostly bud, but the bottom line is that I think rolling it definitely degrades it somewhat as a vaping product. I would order a pre-roll only if there was no other packaging available, as in this case.
Despite the complaints I've heard about OCS shipping underweight product, this one weighed in at a nice 1.08 g. (I haven't checked the other two yet.) For me that is one extra load, since I tend to use .07 g as a standard.
Now, about that terpene profile. I was disappointed by the nose. It was not particularly fragrant, but that wasn't surprising once I saw how dry it was. The taste is quite nice but not strong. I was hoping for something more flavourful, but I can live with this. The effects are exactly what I wanted. I get a nice fairly light head stone and a great body stone that really takes care of my backache. This is one of their cheapest strains, and for me it's great value. I'll probably get more if they still list it when I run low—just not in a pre-roll.

I really like that strain. I finished off a 3.5g container. Went to re order and was out of stock. It’s good for the price.
Palm tree CBD by LBS is also quite nice. High cbd. It’s a bit more expensive.
I’ve also heard that Shark Shock Cbd is pretty good. I just order 3.5g so we shall see. My buddy liked it. I also grabbed some Nepali CBD by Haven Street. $$12 a gram. Heard mixed reviews of that strain online. I hope it’s not a bust at that price.

I received some Ease recently, and can attest that it is very good. Excellent flavour, and mild (sativa) high.
I'm very much into high CBD strains, so I've compiled a list of OCS strains high in CBD. I've arranged them by price, from low to high, and provided the price per 3.5 grams (subject to change, of course):

I disliked the balanced by solei. Not fond of that. Was some swag for sure. I was thinking about the tokoyo smoke ease but didn’t know how the sativa would treat me.

For me, the Ease provided a very clear-headed, cerebral affect, which I found helpful for focusing on any given task. This is particularly so when vaporized at temperatures below 175º or so. Above that temperature, I found the affect to be zombifying.

I do have to note that the palm tree cbd has such a distinct smell and taste I love it. Almost cheesy like.

Got myself some shark shock cbd bu redecan. 3% thc and 8% cbd. Can’t wait to try it.
Why is Pink Kush such a big deal in Canada?
Grown and produced right across the country, this well-known strain is a huge hit in Canada and the second-most searched for strain among Canadian readers, right after Blue Dream. But surprisingly, the Pink Kush love isn’t felt as strongly in the US, where its search popularity sinks into the hundreds.

I'll go with availability and marketing for $1000, Alex.
The legal supply chain is limited to a few big growers and if they push (hahaha!) certain strains then that's what people will buy. I just checked, and it's certainly not the price, at least not here in Ontario. They want $11.84/g CDN for it. There's lots of cheaper stuff. Interestingly, the article doesn't deal with that at all.
I did a Google on cannabis stores in BC and the the first and only store I looked at (BC Cannabis Stores) seems to have a very wide selection of flower. Wonderful!
I spent many summers on Quadra Island. I'd love to try the Quadra strain.
