Most dispensaries are going to be shut down because they're illegal. The ones that transition to legitimate businesses are going to have substantially higher costs once they have to pay licensing fees and taxes, and meet strict regulatory standards.
People think the grey market dispensaries are what a legalized market will look like. They're not. The government tolerated them while we sorted out legalization. Once the legal retail regime is in place, the government is going to crack down on dispensaries, and crack down hard. Legit retailers will have to meet strict health and security regulations, pay taxes, and have minimum pricing. In Ontario, sales will be confined to government stores.
Those articles I linked to cover this stuff in depth. We don't have to exchange anecdotes.
