// Definition
The restrictive regulatory framework that prevents cannabis genetics from crossing state lines in the US legal market, forcing seed companies to establish separate operations in each state and controlling everything down to packaging fonts and sizes.
// From the Episode
Subcool described having to move operations to Oregon to sell seeds legally, with states controlling even font sizes on seed packs. The regulations create a 'counter industry' and 'prison for patients' who find a cultivar that works as medicine but cannot transport it home across state lines. The overregulation soaks up profits making legal cannabis business extremely complicated.
