What's your views on the Cannapax dispensary boom?

[420SA]

To those who are not aware. The name Cannapax has been popping up a lot lately. They're essentially a cannabis dispensary that is now franchising nationwide... they haven't been around for long at all and many are wondering how exactly these guys are actually doing what they're doing...

Pretty sure they killed it and now it's rotting in there with maggots all over it. Worse than a dead cat, they suck man worm.

Honestly, the Cannapax in East London is giving dispensaries a bad name. They have no percentages on their products and do not know nearly enough info on the strains they sell, which by the way are pretty average and comparable to street weed anyway (not cut and cured to its best, contains seeds and their "indoor" is NOT indoor.

I have been to 2 of them. Brits and Hennopspark. They both had very poorly cured buds lacking in flavor and quality. The one had the names of strain written of on a chalk board...

I wish they would have than a more professional approach

So how are they doing this, with regards to the legal system and such?

This has been mentioned ad nauseam , what they're doing is not legal.

Ahh ok. Boggles my mind that they're allowing it though, multiple locations.

Why have law enforcement not gotten involved. Perhaps they're getting a cut?

Not surprising at all in SA, especially after the vague/non-existing ruling on the actual legalization and distribution laws of Cannabis, put in place to make sure the government profits before the tax payer imo 

[chukbot87]

@Jane420 same for the one that just opened in Bloemfontein.  Dodgy and cringy and no standards whatsoever. Really a bad example to everyone.

[Jay420herb]

I have now been to 3 of the branches myself and I must say the quantity was not great. The Terps are faint and the buds where all compressed. 

The one branch had the stock in a Plastic Big Jim container...not even glass.

Without a body regulating this market - you will get sub standard product.

Going to investigate canapax Florida today.

I popped in at Cannapax stellenbosch on Saturday, the "traditional healers" really know how to make you feel pretty awkward. Apart from that, the flowers looked mid.

[MissMayhem]

I've been to two of the cannapax shops, one on witkoppen and another in northcliff. 

The service and product at witkoppen was very decent,

The other was not up to the same standard, weed was not great. 

Overall, I don't agree with the business because it does seem dodgy and they seem to be pushing their luck, which might cause new firmer laws in regard to marijuana use, distribution etc.  

Capitalism trying to get their hands on the weed community. 

Also found they weren't very knowledgeable as far as even a rough estimation on thc content and cbd, which seems important for a dispensary especially if it is being used to help for pain and other medical ailments.

Exactly what I want to know! It should be impossible to do what they are doing from a legal stand point! How are these guys not shut down yet???

[420sake]

The main office in Brits is under a traditional healers license.

[Ill_Evan]

Does the entire franchise of Cannapax operate under one dude's license? 

[420sake]

I read that on the net. Will ask my BIL as he is going to grow for them last I heard.

Yup - confirmed, that it is being alleged to operate under TH license.

[Ill_Evan]

That's wack. Should be a TH license per store, with a registered healer on site when cannabis is sold. There should be some kind of consultation process instead of just taking the piss, lie about your "chronic back ache" and purchase sub-medicinal cannabis. It not only disrespects cannabis, but also the genuine work some traditional healers put into helping people.

I see the Fourways branch is open again after they closed their doors for a few weeks waiting for "legal documents" from head office. According to their Instagram they have NOT been raided and are back in business. Good luck to them sitting right across the Douglasdale police station.

Well played I suppose. If anything, they are resilient...or persistent? I can't tell anymore.

Give it time, I'm sure it's coming, unless of course, they are paying the right bribes to the right individuals... Speaking of which, anyone know if Haze (ex-420 Cafe) is still operating? If they are, I'm sure their prices must've been adjusted by now.
