As legal weed sales begin to cut into their market share, Canada’s black market pot dealers are brainstorming new ways to keep turning a profit. In Saskatchewan, unlicensed sellers have recently been caught using fake product labels<\/u><\/a> to trick buyers into thinking that black market grass is actually legal product.<\/p>\n

When drawing up the regulations governing adult-use sales, Canadian lawmakers chose to temper the excitement of legal weed by creating a strict set of packaging laws designed to make sales as boring as possible<\/u><\/a>. All cannabis products must be packaged in child-resistant, single-color packages, devoid of any flashy logos<\/u><\/a> or even pictures of the product. Additionally, every package must have a \u201cstop-sign\u201d symbol with a pot leaf and the letters \u201cTHC,\u201d along with a number of public health warnings.<\/p>\n
