I hear it takes about 10 minutes to get a prescription in the store with a doctor over skype.
Here, around Nelson BC where it wasn't difficult to find pot at all, there's no one to buy it off of. There is 0% chance these laws won't stop black market sale of pot in Canada. I've heard through the grapevine that most suppliers are in exit strategy mode already, again, in the west kootenays. If those guys stop then there will be no black market pot to sell, and they're stopping. It might not stop completely right away but I wouldn't imagine it takes more than 3 years.

It's not even that these suppliers will go into exit strategy. They'll just try and get a commercial license and sell to a dispensary.
Why would you keep making moonshine and sell it on the street when you can get a license, make moonshine and sell it to a legal liquor distributor and not risk jail.
I'm not saying criminals are smart, but they aren't complete idiots. They're not going to risk jail time over something then can do legitimately.
