Canadian growers destroyed a record 425 million grams of cannabis last year

Canadian licensed producers have destroyed a growing amount of cannabis every year since adult-use legalization nearly four years ago, with 2021’s record quantity far exceeding the product sold that year, an MJBizDaily analysis has found.

The latest data signals that some Canadian mass-producers might need to further rein in output to bring it more in line with forecasted sales, after years of trying to rightsize capacity so they’re not growing more than they’re able to sell.

All told, Canada’s federally licensed marijuana producers destroyed a record 425 million grams – or 468 tons – of unsold, unpackaged dried cannabis last year, according to Health Canada data provided to MJBizDaily.

Last year’s total was up more than 50% from the 279 million grams of dried cannabis that was destroyed in 2020. LPs destroyed 155 million grams in 2019.

Seattle-based analytics firm Headset estimates that sales of dried cannabis and pre-rolls amounted to 293 million grams last year in four key provinces, indicating destroyed inventory again exceeded sold production.

Headset monitors sales in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan, which together account for approximately three-quarters of all legal sales of recreational marijuana products in Canada.

In addition to the destruction of unpackaged dried cannabis, more than 7 million packaged cannabis products across the country were sent for destruction in 2021, according to the Health Canada data.

Quantities of destroyed cannabis include:

3,576,232 packages of dried cannabis.
1,118,148 packages of extracts, including vapes.
2,421,823 packages of edibles, including beverages.
15,359 packages of topicals.

Massive amounts of weed there, I remember the first time I went to TWEED and the last time, doubled in size of area and staff numbers, as soon as you see a huge greenhouse complex in the middle of nowhere you just know why it's there 

[twigs]

Thats shocking to be wasting it when so many people are in need 

[Ch@ppers]

Everyone is allowed to grow, I went into a grow-shops extraction room where the grow shop staff teach extraction methods, bags of weed just lying around, the place reeked,you could pick up half an ounce gratis, there's grow-collectives and co-ops.

The result of trying to keep prices at prohibition scarcity levels.

At the end of the day it all comes down to $$$. How long will it be profitable to grow commercially if everyone can legally grow their own?

Presumably 90% of the population still wouldn't bother growing , same as most people don't brew beer or grow their own food

I'd say that was correct at one point..years ago...in the making but

Everyone knows they can grow better. Bigger.... and for NEXT TO NOTHING (what you could buy an oz for in the legal store)and have pounds!

Trudy had no idea what a person can grow with 4 plants

and at one point the plants were supposedly not to be allowed over  4 feet

but twelve foot vines 4 feet high work quite well too  eh..

Give it to the FARMERS

and WATCH OUT

 

Even people who have never smoked are now seeing what can be done at home..with out spending a fortune for poison shit!

 Know one person who never smoked pot their ebtire lives until he turned 54...now he burns like a fiend and his plants are to die for..

He goes all out on everything he does 

He started growing after reading what he could do... and seeing it first hand..

Commercial pounds for 500

and less if you wish

This, totally. Growing is quite a ball ache if you are not into that sort of thing, requires a lot of time to be put into it to get decent results, most people dont have time to commit to learning a new skill over a few years
