what is true is that the one lab authorized to grow weed for federally funded research grows mids that are unrepresentative of commercially available medical and recreational weed.
Aren't you agreeing? If the only way you can legally study marijuana is to use strains that are unrepresentative of commercially available medical and recreational weed, then isn't that pretty much the same as saying it can't be studied?
That seems kind of like the government saying that wine consumption can only be studied using samples of vodka produced by one lab since the active ingredient is the same.
In other words: I'm going to study the effect of red wine on some health condition. Unfortunately I only have funding to buy alcohol from a store that does not sell wine, so I will experiment with beer.
