// Definition
In Canada, indigenous First Nations communities have leveraged their sovereign nation status to operate cannabis retail outside the federal regulatory framework, selling products with fewer restrictions on advertising, quantity limits, and potency caps than licensed stores.
// From the Episode
An indigenous woman pioneered the model of placing shipping containers behind gas stations on highways. These operations can advertise openly, sell more than 28g at a time, and exceed the 10mg edible limit. Bubbleman argued the regulated industry should adopt the indigenous rules rather than trying to restrict them -- viewing indigenous operators as the new cannabis activists after legalization killed traditional activism.
