We sell too much cannabis for it to not to be quality. Awesome is plain crazy btw. Not credible. Bringing on other LPs only signals our dominance, not a weakness.

Tweed cannabis products have been the best cannabis products I have ever encountered in my entire life. I spent 4 winters ski bumming in BC but this was before the rise of the dispensaries.....like in Vancouver I bought my buds on Cambie street and smoked in the new amsterdam cafe owned by Jodie and Marc - but they were not selling in store fronts at that time....

No - Tweed Buds are exceptional. I have tried Organigram and it was no where near as good, that was back when OGI was < .60 on the market....

For me as a customer it is extremely valuable that the product is measured precisely, packaged and sealed in a clean regulated facility - and I know for a fact that this has value on the black market.

Make no mistake, Tweed buds are on the black market, they are resold and shared from patients to unauthorized people.....

I will probably never deviate for the rest of my life, I am always going to have Tweed buds - I want to grow my own Tweed as well, they make good product and they have my brand loyalty for sure.

The quality and efficy of their oil is crazy to behold. My wife typically uses a dose that costs us 76 cents of Bakerstreet oil and it changes her whole day. We both just had green teas with 1 ml each, I smoked a couple puffs extra, we are both chilling out after traveling for a bit, good medicine!

I could probably sit here and write a very disorganized book about Tweed products and their potential - think about it from a common sense point of view - Tweed has a Ph. D doing cell culture cloning, we have a dedicated R&D laboratory, breeding facilities - Awesomesounds argument is that the AVERAGE MMAR grower produces better product than Tweed

it is complete BS - your post was awesome by the way

I've been vocal periodically over the last few years and I maintain that they are having production issues which is translating into an unfocused execution.

It's fine to want to be more than farmers, but at the end of the day the actual farming is pretty key to success here. Unless you're planning on buying product from another LP.

I don't see it that way personally. Seems a big leap to assume Canopy is having problems & doing this because:

"Offering third party products (as announced today) signals to me they know that their mass-produced stuff is a risk, that it's not 'great'. I'm pleased as an investor, but curious about why they are having problems."

I think it signals that they know mail order is coming and soon. They also know that craft growers will be a growing reality they cant avoid which will increase competition. To me this is like acquiring some of your competitors without out having to pay for them.

It means locking up increased medical patients in the near term because of the one script one company scenario (yes I know docs can split script but many will not).

It means customers who never would have gone to Tweed for any number of reasons like location, strain, marketing bla bla bla will end up going to Tweed anyway. When the craft grower runs out which they inevitably will because they can't grow at scale they may stay and try Tweed as a result.

It means starting to make it tough in the near term for the big competitors to access wholesale when they need it from these craft growers. Think ACB needing to sell OGI weed because they couldn't grow enough. In a way its a b2b model that only Canopy has access to.

As for Tweed quality my experience is completely different. I am not a patient but my aunt & a good friend are. The stuff I have smoked with them is frankly effin amazing....maybe i am just not as experienced a connoisseur but I can tell you my aunt is definitely experienced 50+ years so and she swears its top notch.

Seems to me quality in all things is a very personal experience. I know in my business you cant please them all but that doesn't mean you still cant be near or at the top in sales consistently. Even those that don't prefer your product still shop in many cases if the convenience, price & service are there as long as they don't absolutely hate the product.
