From the Paper:

"Mexican marijuana comprises of a major portion of street-level or commercial grade-1 marijuana that is currently available easily in the United States. Marijuana from Mexican sources remains the cheapest priced marijuana in the US. In addition to that, intelligence sources indicate an increase in Mexican traffickers and in their efforts to produce more potent forms of marijuana, including sinsemilla. In addition, the potency of marijuana, or THC content, traditionally regarded as weak, has steadily increased.

Research on the medical uses of marijuana began early in 2002, for the first time in almost two decades. The government has approved new experiments to test whether smoking can help patients who suffer from pain in their limbs as a result of AIDS, or who have multiple sclerosis, or not."
