Government Cannabis Quality

🩺 Medicine First mentioned: Ep. 088

The cannabis provided by the US federal government through the NIDA program at the University of Mississippi was notoriously low quality - approximately 4% THC, negligible CBD, shipped in frozen tin cans as pre-rolled joints.

Irvin Rosenfeld described receiving the government herb in tin cans that were frozen. The quality was far below what was available to regular medical patients in legal states. The 4% THC content and 0.01% CBD content demonstrated how out of touch the federal cannabis research program was with actual therapeutic needs. Despite this poor quality, Irvin found it effective for his bone condition.
