EDIT:
Surprise! Turns out January 21st's Green Market Toronto's pop up craft cannabis Nuite Verte/ Green Night was the grand finale, for this increasingly popular underground Toronto green marketing event!
Spirits ran high as the growing crowd of enthusiastic medical pot and recreational aficionados lined up along Dufferin Street. It was a January night, but everyone was once again very eager to avail themselves of the Green Markets many high quality, local medibles and other craft cannabis market products.
Our favourite local producers were all out in force, for one last time under the Green Market banner, ready, willing and able to help meet our needs; Bakers Shop, Cannnabiscotti, Cannaworld, High Society, Mary Jane, Matty's Patties, Mrs. Fudgemaker, Sea of Green, Sofa King, plus lots of other vendors.
Toronto Green Market has been playing hide and seek with Toronto Police Services [TPS] since Mother's Day 2016. However, organizer Lisa Campbell tells "Oh Cannabis" that they are now calling it quits as legalization approaches this year.
Regretfully, Toronto's cannabis community is now left scrambling for a bit. Medibles won't be officially available for until at least a year into the legalization process. One definitely senses a winter chill is in the air.
A pox on Justin Trudeau's refusal to decriminalize weed! Nor offer pardons! Also on the TPS for the Toronto Police Services Project Claudia and Gator busts!
But don't panic! The high times will continue!
Many of the producers in attendance advise me that they are still readily available to sell and ship online. Other yummy, shopping alternatives are popping up across the city, as the green market movement continues to spread and grow.
Rest assured, you can also stay tuned to "Oh Cannabis News and Views" for lots of tasty links and reviews in the daze ahead.
Meantime, Oh Cannabis wishes Green Market Toronto organizers Lisa Campbell and Sarah Gilles best wishes and every success with their future cannabiz endeavours. Green Market has definitely been leading edge in fighting the stigma of prohibition in "Toronto The Not-So-Good", while providing ready, reliable and instructive access to a great line of locally produced, craft cannabis products.
As cannabis activists, Lisa, Sarah and Green Market Toronto have created a top notch green marketing model for others to now follow. One admires the compassion pricing, diversity and inclusivity principles for which they have set the new benchmark. One can only hope that our new above ground, commercial Canadian market will embrace the same truly high, ethical standards, in the years ahead!
Keep up the great work!
