The 'BMW' of Canadian marijuana

The 'BMW' of Canadian marijuana Quebec now produces more cannabis than British Columbia
As the province's reigning cash crop, British Columbia's marijuana — or B.C. Bud, as it's known — has a certain cachet among potheads. But the province's reputation, dubious though it is, is under threat from Quebec, which according to a new study has likely overtaken Canada's left coast as the producer of choice for smokers south of the border.
Citing police cannabis seizure statistics from B.C., Quebec and Ontario, Université de Montréal researcher Serge Brochu says Quebec's production has rocketed past B.C.'s in the last three years — with three times the number of seizures in Quebec as in B.C. While the numbers partly reflect increased police vigilance, he says efforts by the province's wily and dedicated growers have meant a wealth of new marijuana strains that have "gained quite a reputation in the milieu."
This recent popularity is a point of pride for Charlie McKenzie. As secretary of Montreal's Compassion Centre, which sells 11 different strains of Quebec marijuana to anyone with a doctor's note, McKenzie has seen the change first-hand. "Even though there's been police busts, the market is still flooded," McKenzie says. "There's so much weed out there." A growing acceptance of the drug as a painkiller has removed part of its stigma. "We see a lot less street people coming in," McKenzie says, "and a lot more little old ladies from Outremont. I think our socialist brothers on the West Coast are driven by capitalism," McKenzie adds. "They view marijuana very much as a cash cow, while here it's an art. They aren't tinkering with the plant as much as they do here, so they mass-produce the equivalent of Chevys. Here, we produce BMWs one day and Mercedes the next."
Quebec marijuana growers have nonetheless suffered as of late: like all exporters of goods to the United States, the strong loonie has burned a hole in the bottom line.

I'm from BC and now live in Quebec to go to university, and I have to say, I still think bud from BC is better. Its more expensive out here, and I find that growers in BC put just as much care into making delicious strains as they do out here, if not more. Quebec may be producing more, but BC bud is still the best in my mind.
-------------------- "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

REAL Quebec bud tastes like Quebec itself.
When you got the right people growing plants in small batches, you hit the spot.
Not some dumbass claiming to deal, selling shitty weed. Fuck these people.

Ahhh, I love canadians. Born and raised in Alaska I know a thing or two about amazing canada bud. When you have to transport the shit thousands of miles without roads and its worth 6000 dollars+ a pound, only the best shit makes it hear. I have travelled to Vancouver and other parts of BC MANY times and I always thought the bud was mediocre. We also get some amazing homegrown as Alaskans know their shit and almost never grown inside in bulk.

You are all a bunch of fudge packers. BC Buds fucking sucks. Beaster fucking sucks. Crappy strains like big bud grown hydroponically, harvested two weeks early, dried on rack, stuffed into plastic bags and sent over the boarder. Beaster sucks.

The first pic is Alaskan thunderfuck. I don't think you're getting it there.
The 2nd strain is midnight blue.

Damn you people! Where I'm at no one sells shit like that... Just dirty dirty schwag or $20 grams of lows. High for 10 minutes then back down. I stopped smoking weed because of it!
