The United States government has an official marijuana menu, and it’s posted online

This March, researchers for the United States updated the official menu of the only supplies of federally legal marijuana in the world.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse posted a revised list of the type and cost of marijuana available to researchers. You’ll need a special research permit to buy the federal government’s pot — which is grown in Mississippi — but don’t worry, you’re not missing out on anything special. Uncle Sam’s stash is largely filled with bunk.
A review of NIDA’s research marijuana menu shows the world’s top researchers have much poorer access to cutting-edge medical cannabis products than your average 18 year-old in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Medical cannabis is legal for adults with a doctor’s note in California, and some 22 other states, and the marketplace has rapidly evolved beyond anything at the government’s lone pot farm. One in 20 California adults is estimated to have tried medical cannabis for a serious condition and 92 percent of them thought pot worked.
For example: NIDA has two main classes of pot for sale “marijuana cigarettes” and “bulk marijuana”. That’s it. Joints and kilograms. No concentrated extracts or topicals, let alone edibles, lozenges, sprays, and juices.
NIDA’s pricing schedule states that non-placebo cigarettes cost $10.96 each, placebo cigarettes cost $13.94 each, while Bulk Marijuana costs $2,497 per kilogram (2.2 pounds).
Roughly $1,200 a pound would be pretty good for wholesale bud, but the selection here is atrocious.
The highest THC cigarette the government is selling tops out at 6.7% THC. Compare that to 25% THC for pre-rolls in San Francisco and L.A. Uncle Sam has no high-cannabidiol pre-rolls, whereas high-CBD pre-rolls are common in advanced cannabis markets.
And most of the bulk marijuana is bad, too. Uncle Sam classifies cannabis that’s “low” in THC as having less than 1%, “medium” is 1-5%, “high” is 5-10%, and “very high” is greater than ten percent. Not a single government strain tests over 10.2% THC.
By comparison, the average Bay Area cannabis patient buys cannabis that’s an average of 15 percent, estimates UC Berkeley public health researcher Amanda Reiman.
NIDA also lacks high-THC-V strains, which likely hold the key to future diet drugs.
On the upside, NIDA has plenty of ultra-low-THC, high-CBD strains. Some are .53 percent THC and 13.94 percent CBD. Check out the whole list here.
Interesting how they have a person dedicated to growing, but are behind the public in THC content. I guess they are limiting it on purpose while growing high CBD strains which they believe are more of medical use?

Well, maybe it's a start, at least the government has a menu, it just needs to be updated, which would be quite simple, but more importantly, made federally legal for recreational use, with the updated menu, of course!

I'm not knocking their bud actually. There's one number 76 at the bottom with 1%+ cbg and 10% thc. I'd smoke it if it was grown and cured right. There's also a 15% cbd strain batch. Honestly they have better variety and selection of cannabinoids at different ratios where there's just better bud for smoking at the clubs.

I got ya, yeah, it would suck if they federally legalized it, but then said the amount of THC had to be something ridiculously low, to where u might catch a slight buzz, if any at all. I could see them doing that, which would be better then what we got now, but still would suck.
The thing with me, and a lot of others, is even if it becomes legal in your state, even medicanally, and I had a script, I still would not be allowed to smoke it, cause I got random observed piss test.
From what I hear, people are getting fired, and losing in court, cause they failed a drug test, supposedly the courts are standing on the side with the employers, because its still not federally legal, FUCKING FEDERALLY LEGALIZE it already.
The mj plant is not only therapuetic for smoking, but just growing one of those beautiful plants, would be therapeutic to me, and many others, this is a fucking joke, a real bad one at that!

I'm just pissed that pot is moving forward because politicians are seeing $$$$$$$ What would be fair would be to have no tax on pot for the same number of years that pot was illegal

Maybe that's why they've been so pissed at the competition! How about their coke for sale? That must be like 99.9% pure.
