Cannabis, Marijuana or Cannabis comes in many flavors, fragrances, strengths and varieties, nowadays the term thc percentage is very popular. The terms of percentages is not correct and can be even dangerous that "this strength of wine / thc says 12% or even a burgundy or.. It does not say anything about the product self. There are hundreds of chemicals in cannabis, which a lot never have been investigated and at least hundreds or thousands of patient's would be needed as test subjects to properly investigate this.
On each jar fits a lid
To exclude ( ban ) cannabis with more then 15% thc or exclude the compressed form (hash) is research-technical - and certainly medically - inaccurate. The more diversity of choice there is, the more patient's can find their appropriate product by trying. However, for law officers, it is different. A cop can not see the level of thc. Here the paper law gives him an opportunity to seize your weed and bag it up, for investigation in the lab.
