Nope, fake and tainted weed is a very real problem when it's illegal.
I've seen cannabis with plaster mixed in; glass beads, added ketamine, synthetic fibres; anything cheap to increase the perceived effect and weight. And all of those are safer than legal synthetic 'weed'.
The THC to CBD ratio is completely impossible to control when in prohibition areas. Dealers select for maximum THC to minimize weight to effect ratio, which is the opposite of what you want if you're trying to protect people from any possible psychosis trigger.
People who are self medicating with cannabis in illegal countries have very little control over these factors. If they try to grow their own they can get prosecuted as suppliers and face higher sentences than rapists.
