Another wonderful expenditure of tax payers dollars.

The War On some Drugs has gotten out of control and needs to be curtailed a great amount.

Wait 'til the law changes and Philip Morris (now Altria) gets hold of the marijuana genomic database. Will they have to pay a royalty?

A HUGE waste of time and money. Knowing that an illegal substance came from California or Oregon does not get the authorities any closer to a pot bust. Gee -- we know where this stuff came from but we dont know where it was grown in California. Maybe in the Sierra Madre mountains, maybe in an abandoned barn in Mendocino, maybe in a warehouse in San Francisco . . . Idiot science at work. JMHO.

a plant DNA match does not by itself prove that two growing operations are related.

New frontiers in WOSD money-wasting.

What's the waiting period for DNA results in a rape or murder case? I keep hearing how huge the backlog is.

I'm glad we have our priorities straight.
