Okay --- SERIOUSLY --- I'm laughing my ass off right now just thinking about how stupid some of our government agencies are....
You know the FEDS just decided to keep Marijuana as a Class 1 drug (the worst rating) and stated that it has NO MEDICINAL USE.....
Okay -----
Then why did COLORADO bother to do all the work to create this document?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? About dosage -- about the types of THC and THCa - and CBD - and the different extraction methods and the DOSING and measuring and the standards and on and on.

Here's but a "snippet" of info. My point is that the good people that represent the voters of the great state of Colorado think that there is medicinal usage taking place and that there is a market for it - and therefore standards should be established. Unlike the FEDS that are just idiots.
CUT AND PASTED FROM THE REPORT:
An important compliment to the physical THC relationships
identified in this study is the pharmacological
perspective. If the purpose of the equivalency legislation is
to limit transactions or possession to a reasonable “dose”
of concentrates and marijuana products for residents and
non-residents, then the medical effects described here
will be useful to construct a set of equivalencies between
marijuana products.
There are several methods to consume marijuana such
as intravenous, oral mucosal, ingested, transdermal, and
inhaled. The two most popular methods for consumption
are ingestion and inhalation. We focus upon these two
methods in this study. The remaining methods are either
reviewed briefl y or are provided as references for the
interested reader.
The reader should understand that this section does
not represent a clinical study. Instead, this section uses
findings from other studies to inform marijuana stakeholders
about the dosing process, and it provides a
new mathematical construct that can compare ingested
and smoked marijuana products in a consistent manner.
Therefore, this report should be considered to be a policydriven
study that leverages medical literature to provide
scientific evidence during the construction of dose equivalencies
between various marijuana products.
