The @INCB_President needs to retract and correct this statement. It's easily provable that legalizing cannabis DOES reduce criminal activity.

No one said the illicit market would disappear overnight. That was never an expectation. It was always going to take decades. @INCB_President In Canada, for example, 48% of consumers “always” obtained their cannabis from legal sources. 5 years ago it was almost 100%.

That is a huge reduction in criminal activity.

BREAKING: Cannabis producer Canopy Growth to close flagship cultivation facility in Smiths Falls, Ontario, cut 800 jobs after losing $267 million in Q3.

Plans to "transform Canadian business" after losing $2.6 billion so far this fiscal year.

Story coming for @MJBizDaily @MJBizDaily Canada's federal government, via the @CanRevAgency, dumped almost $90 million of taxpayer money into Canopy over the past 2 years, making it the largest gov't-subsidized cannabis producer in the world.

The free money came amid a massive supply glut of cannabis in the market.
