Researcher's are looking into the marijuana market ahead of the legalization of recreational pot, which is expected to be introduced through legislation in spring 2017 and to take effect in 2018.

When producers visited seven Toronto dispensaries and collected 12 of the most popular marijuana strains, laboratory test results showed average THC levels of around 20 per cent. THC is the active ingredient that provides pot's high.

Some strains had reached as high as 30 per cent THC, much higher than pot in the 1970s, when levels in Canada usually runs two to eight per cent, according to a from professor of botany at the University of British Columbia.

CBD is also the focus of much research on possible medical benefits in treating everything from childhood epilepsy to schizophrenia and arthritis. The more t research they do now, hopefully it will speed up the process.
