Other than the potency limit, what limits legal stores from fixing all the other issues (bad trimming job, dry, chemical additives, craft cannabis, etc). It just seems like since it's new and everyone's jumping to buy it, there's more focus on quantity right now, but maybe as the market gets more competitive that'll change.

I don't see why it'd be different to, for example, Starbucks vs your local quality coffee shop, both co-existing.

Imagine a paradigm our local coffee shop isn't legally allowed to operate and Tim Hortons is ran by the government.

Again, other than the potency, I'm asking, what stops the "local coffee shop" to legally be allowed to operate? What stops from a local place charging more to do a better job at quality? If there's demand for it, I'm sure it'll eventually pop up.

There are limited numbers of licenses granted in Canada, awarded by lottery I am told. When some big companies set a bad trend via race to the bottom, many who would like to do better are prohibited from growing due to the licenses issue.

The way legalization happened here is incompetent. There are even output limits: for one friends little grow op, where he is not allowed to overproduce.
