Canadians are complaining that the marijuana being provided to pharmacies by Health Canada is inferior “schwag” and vilified for giving users nausea and headaches. Health Canada maintains its marijuana has a THC content of 10%, on par with the average THC content of street marijuana seized by the police. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that makes users feel high or stoned.
