Researchers get their weed from the Federal marijuana farm in Mississippi and it is distributed under supervision of the DEA. Years ago I used to know one of the top researchers in the field, Dr. Hug. He got his weed pre-rolled in nice little packages with the THC content stamped on the package, which I found amusing.

Actually legalization is likely to mean decriminalization for growing as well as possession. I really don't see government casting itself in the role of dealer except with regard to hard drugs. With those it is important to know who is using and how much, and have control of the purity simply for practical reasons. However I see that as being performed by authorized organizations.

The reality is that if these were legal commodities, they would cost next to nothing, there would be no illicit sizzle for young kids, and users would just be viewed as pathetic losers.
