I'm being spoiled by your appreciation.
There's very little information on this specific topic online, I have found some US Embassy information from Canada, notably the following:
https://ca.usembassy.gov/cannabis-legalization-in-canada/
This is in direct reference to Canadians, and while she isn't Canadian, it was a Canadian industry. I'm hoping that this is going to be relatively accurate as to how things go. And it falls in line with your reasoning - retail cannabis is far from her life's work, it was a job at the time to pay the bills.
Consistent honestly is the plan.
And thank you! I've seen what happens in some threads with 0 context of anything.
