Agree. Here is some answers from Interview why most will buy from License producers like TWEED

....Bruce Linton: Sure. There’s a multi-thread question. I’ve got about three threads on that one. The first is our price range is from about half of the average you’re using up to about 50% above the average. What you get on the street varies in terms of what I’ll say is the THC and the quality and there isn’t a correlation between the THC and the price. In fact, some of the stuff which we grow, which has the highest yield and the highest volume and the lowest price actually has reasonably high THC. So I think you’ll find there’s a price point down the range.

The second is that we’ve gone through the process of testing that product which you’ve described from getting on the street. It contains a number of unadvertised benefits such as pesticides – one strain had DDT on it – some with intense levels of molds and mildews – all of which, won’t be on our product.

Mainly the third thing is once you get past the fact that you probably wouldn’t ingest if you knew what was in it from any of these available on the street. With ours, if you have a prescription – a medical document – you’ll have access over the course of the years as we get fully grown out, to more than 80 strains. And they’re always the same as the last time and there’s the diversity you might choose to buy from. When it’s delivered, it’s next day, it’s free of shipping costs, and it’s lawfully in your possession. And in Canada, the thing that is maybe under-reported is the fact that the federal legislation has three or four components. One about how it gets grown in factories such as ours, and the other about how the access to getting a medical document becomes much easier, or it became much easier April 1, 2014.

But the third one is that if you’re growing six or more plants in an area you’re responsible for, they’ve set some notion of a minimum sentence of approximately six months for doing so. So I’m not saying everybody’s going to change, but I think what the government’s doing is taking a bunch of things and weaving them together. Our model however, has never been focused on people who have had the right to grow because half or more may continue to do so. But the change in the access is the big thing, and that’s why Health Canada even has said that a tenfold increase in the number of people who have a prescription or medical document is quite likely. With that perspective, really what we’re aiming at are the people – if you’ve never grown it in you house and you’ve never done all these other steps, it might seem more normal and reasonable to just get on your smart phone and order it....

right now you can make a batch of wine or beer in ontario, for far less money than buying it at the LCBO. but only a very small % make their own. I would imagine that even if the gov let you grow weed, few would. Espcially once the medical suppliers give discounts to those who can not afford full price. Just like out current OHIP, and Trillium.
