Not really though. Legalization would mean that people could breed and sell seeds, grow plants regardless of where they live, drop whatever seeds they want (instead of only the ones sold by the government being legal to drop), and sell flowers to consumers and wholesalers. Imports and exports would exist.
Canadian "legalization" is more like the hyopcritical shitbirds in government trying to gain a monopoly on a market that they've been waging war against for decades. A government that, to this day, still tries to claim that cannabis is addictive and lowers IQ, among other blatant misinformation, should in no way be the only place to buy seeds. The government has no place telling any of us what seeds we can germinate, where we get them from, or who we give them to.
Right now I honestly believe that the Canadian legal market is in no way worth supporting. I see very few, if any, producers that actually care about quality. Few producers can provide any kind of reliable provenance for their genetics. And we're supposed to pay top dollar for this shit without being able to even see or smell it first? Fuck that, and fuck them for trying to force us to.
It's not legal, just different things are criminalized now. Booze is legal. When I can bring a pound of hash back on a flight with me like I can with bottles of wine, then it'll be legal in my book. The current bullshit is ridiculous. DC is smarter. Michigan is smarter. Colorado, Oregon, and California are smarter. But Canadian politicians seem to be content with their place in the global economy being "America's hat."
