Big Weed – Cannabis | weed | marijuana

Big weed is no secret. In Canada, the corporatization of the medicinal and therapeutic herb was at the heart of Justin Trudeau’s legalization plan.

However, this phenomenon is not limited to Canada. States like California have designed the licensing system to allow Big Weed to leverage its economies of scale. Long-standing small farmers are facing bankruptcy.

Whether on purpose or outright greed, Big Weed has flooded the legal cannabis market. Wholesale flower prices have plummeted.

Some claim that this is the fault of “capitalism”, but they have merely demonstrated their ignorance. In Canada and California, for example, Big Weed is the result of strict regulations imposed by bureaucrats who couldn’t tell an indica plant from a sativa.

Far from protecting consumers or creating a level playing field, regulatory bureaucracies are paving the way for the corporatization of our lives and our economies.

Cannabis can be grown on a budget. But bureaucrats are demanding capital-intensive growth investments. They create a maze of rules where only highly paid corporate lawyers can find and exploit loopholes.

To support small cannabis farmers, you must support free and fair markets. That means turning down Bernie Sanders for Ron Paul. Richard Wolff is replaced by Murray Rothbard.

Big weed in Canada

Big Weed is based in Canada. One of two things must be true:

1. There is a conspiracy to consolidate power and wealth in the hands of a few
2. This absurd economic system tends to consolidate power and wealth in the hands of a few

No matter which side of the debate you end up on (or maybe it’s a mix of both), the results are the same.

Do not believe me? Think about who is investing in these (Big Weed) major Canadian cannabis companies.

• Goldman Sachs
• MorganStanley
• Bank of America
• citadel
• Vanguard group
• JPMorgan Chase
• TD Asset Management
• Barclays
• Blackrock

These are the faces behind Big Weed. Big banks and global hedge funds. As the wise George Carlin once said, “It’s a big club and you’re not in it.”

Big Weed: So what?

But so what, say some of you. There’s nothing wrong with investing in and profiting from cannabis companies. This bogeyman “Big Weed” sounds like the laments of an economically illiterate.

And if this were a free and fair market, I would agree with companies like Big Weed. There’s nothing wrong with making money. The question is how.

With banks, that is clear. It is no exaggeration to describe their close relationship with the nation-state as economic fascism. Their practice of fractional reserve banking is fraudulent, particularly in Canada, where banks have advocated (and maintained) zero reserve ratios.

In other words, banks can basically create unlimited amounts of money.

As for others like Blackrock and Vanguard, we can move on to a more recent episode in our story.

GameStop proves the system is rigged

In 2021, a slew of retail investors drove GameStop stock up 1,784%. This was unprecedented as GameStop is basically the blockbuster among video games.

Because of this, major banks and hedge funds had sold the stock short. You would have bet billions that the stock would fall.

But many smaller investors banded together on Reddit to fight back against these globalists. They piled up, drove up the share price and suddenly banks and hedge funds had to take significant losses.

Some estimate up to $70 billion.

Few were surprised by the reaction from the corporate press. These small investors were like an invading “army”. They left a “trail of destruction” in their wake. The whole thing is “madness”.

They falsely claimed that these GameStop backers were threatening the entire global economy.

CNBC declared the short squeeze a “fiasco” that posed a “threat to the smooth functioning of financial markets.”

Meghan McCain, the daughter of a war criminal, likened Redditors to the “rioters” of the Capitol.

A lesson in Orwellian doublespeak: market manipulation

Those of us who are past tenth grade civics know duplicity when we see it.

The Inflation Reduction Act fuels inflation. The Patriot Act is unpatriotic.

When a group of retail investors threatened to overthrow crony capitalist Wall Street, the corporate press responded with propaganda of “market manipulation.”

The idea is: Wall Street can benefit at the expense of Main Street. The Fed’s loose monetary policy can destroy savings and reward big banks (and therefore Big Weed).

That’s “capitalism,” they say. But the reverse is market manipulation.

The globalists needed to stop the bleeding wound caused by a rising GameStop stock. The Robinhood app (the trading platform for small investors) prevented further purchases.

That said, to keep the big banks and hedge funds afloat, the Robinhood app discouraged users from buying more GameStop stock.

Unless it is market manipulation, this sentence is meaningless.

How to stop big weeds

Wherever there is legalization, Big Weed is there. Tilray believed they would be at the forefront and at the center of German legalization. They announced in a (now deleted) press release that they were part of a “political round table.”

Of course it wasn’t true. A German official told Mjbizdaily: “The content of the press release is simply not correct. We are not downplaying the meeting as there is no collaboration and there will be no collaboration with Tilray. On no level, to put it bluntly.”

Since then, Germany has introduced a non-profit cannabis social club model. Similar to how cannabis worked in Canada before legalization.

Small farmers would bring their harvest to a social or “compassion club” and people were allowed to touch, smell and taste them.

Now cannabis is being irradiated and hidden behind layers of plastic.

The German legalization aims to empower small farmers and boost the local economy. There is no way for Big Weed to step in and gain a monopoly.

Of course, time will tell. The global elites have opportunities to infect every corner of the planet like a bad flu virus.

Until then, Canadians and Americans can do their part by buying from local small farmers. Legal or illegal, it doesn’t matter.

Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s unlawful. Likewise, what is legal is not always lawful. Big Weed’s takeover of the cannabis markets is proof of that.
