I think you guys are missing the point.
Does 'the government' brew my beer? Heck no.
Do they make sure the processes involved in it's manufacture and distribution are in accordance with Canadian law, food regulations and labour standards? Yes.
Just license it to be grown. Start a Weed Pool. Have your tiers of consumption, beer, booze or spirit; cigarette, cigar or chew.
Have your specialty wine stores and your corner 24-pack specials, your king size and your ultra lights, your craft beer and your malt liquor.
Cook with your risotto with a dry white or make your beef stew with a stout.
Just let the people have what they want.
