// Definition
The exorbitant cost and bureaucratic waste of the Canadian cannabis licensing process, where applications could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with no guarantee of approval, diverting resources from actual cannabis production and patient access.
// From the Episode
The panel discussed how Canada's licensing regime was a 'humongous exponential waste in resources' that the country could ill afford. The conversation compared this to Dana Larsen's civil disobedience approach of simply distributing seeds and operating without government permission. Kevin McKernan and the panel agreed that over-regulation was hindering the development of quality cannabis and genomic research.
