Small batch, micro cannabis products are bringing a quality and bag appeal to the consumer market that is changing the game in Canada, say several retailers and growers across the country.

Although much of the first two years of legalization in Canada has been dominated by cannabis produced by some of the country’s larger, often publicly traded cannabis producers, this is changing as more small-scale producers begin making it to retail shelves.

“A lot of these smaller growers are coming in with some fire, and if I was a big LP right now I would have some concerns,” says Ryan Roch of Lake City Cannabis just outside Calgary, Alberta.
