## Resource

Cannabis sales in British Columbia are experiencing a slowdown, with wholesale volume and dollars decreasing from last year. In contrast, alcohol sales are thriving, with beer, wine, and spirits wholesales totaling over seven hundred twenty-six million dollars. The cannabis market has seen growth pause after years of increases, with store numbers climbing to five hundred twenty-eight by March. Four twenty crowds have shrunk, and retailers note tighter wallets amid economic woes. However, small craft producers are bucking the trend with direct delivery sales exploding, and shifts in tastes show up with dried flower down and inhalable extracts and edibles gaining popularity.
