Partial excerpt from the article:
In practice, medical marijuana is typically greener than
pot from your curbside drug dealer, which is often sourced
through Mexican cartels or illegal grows in national forests.

But the distinction pretty much stops there. Grown under the
radar of state and federal agricultural authorities, even
"medical" cannabis can be covered in toxic mold, raised in
rooms filled with shedding pit bulls, or coated in commercial-
grade synthetic fertilizers and insecticides such as phosphate
and Diazinon, which can be especially toxic if improperly
applied. "Under our program a huge advantage is the
