Would we buy this again?  Maybe.  There are good and even cheaper alternatives from the same Producer, Tilray, include RIFF’s Cryo Chronic  and Orbital Indica Drop.  RIFF produce industrial version of Broken Coast’s cultivars under different names.  But, at $33.57 for 3.5 grams, this is a very affordable craft product from one of the top craft producers in Canada.

On an investment note, Broken Coast and Whistler Medical Marijuana Corp. (WMMC)  are the two oldest and most successful Medical Cannabis Producer in Canada.  While the acquisitions of Broken Coast by Aphria/Tilray has performed well with a broader and continued presence in the legal cannabis market,  WMMC  acquisition by Aurora, however, has been reduced to a shadow of their past.
