purportedly? I know you mean hybrid strains bread for high potency. Prohibitting those if otherwise legal would require a legal basis. I thought one objective of legalization was to avoid laced product. Of course lacing weed to make it appear more potent and to be addictive is still forbidden. I have no source for that. Chalk it up as purported rumor. I've heard police test a crusher (weed grinder, whatchamacallit) positive for co-alkaloids and amphetamin in Germany.

Wine production from hybrid grapevine is also prohibited in the EU due to lesser reasons. The French largely influenced EU wine legislation. Only the rootstock is hybrid because it's disease and fungus resistant. https://winesvinesanalytics.com/news/article/201942/Will-Europe-Embrace-Hybrid-Wine-Grapes https://winesvinesanalytics.com/news/article/201942/Will-Eur... If you want to drink wine from hybrid grapes in the EU, you have to buy import (Moldova, North Macedonia etc) or homemade (usualy low quality) wine. Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria had to uproot most of their hybrids upon joining the EU. The same would happen to Macedonia.

  This is the tragedy of the commons. It's entirely reasonable that Designated Origin rules prescribe the ingredients and naming of products, e.g. for champagne. The problem is that varieties cross polinate through air and thus endanger--oh my gosh--the traditional wine bread. That much I can gather although the article doesn't say so. It's probably a little more complicated, sure. The article only says that hybrids from the 19th century were inferior; suppose taste wise. Which is a matter of taste, but likely reflected in sales. The upside is resistance to fungi and such.

    Yes, there are modern hybrids suitable for colder climates. The rules have been relaxed a bit since.
