The University of Mississippi (aka Ole Miss) has been growing pot for
the government for research purposes for decades. Easy enough to Google:

Medical uses researched at Ole Miss? Yep.

Oh. They also have a potency monitoring program.

They alter it. So the "government pot" grown at Ole Miss isn't
necessarily as strong as something someone might grow at home.

From what I remember about it, it was pretty much impossible to break
into the fields where they grow the government weed.
