Abstract
In the 6 years since legalization of recreational cannabis, most Canadians have shifted their trust to the government regulated market, motivated primarily by product safety. In this case study of the province of Nova Scotia's cannabis market, we find that this disembedded trust regime of federal government oversight frustrates local producers’ efforts to make and market their products because regulation inhibits consumers from establishing local or embedded trust and allows the signifier of the local to be appropriated by large, national and transnational corporations. Our data is drawn from federal and provincial government laws and regulations, corporate financial press, provincial government stores, interviews with producers, and marketing and advertising materials. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings in the international context of increasing jurisdictions in Europe and North America establishing new licit cannabis markets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
