It's in the Fortune article, which I recommend:

	Rosenfeld's weed is hardly connoisseur quality by
	contemporary California dispensary standards. The
	government grows its crops only sporadically, so it dries the
	harvested flowers and places them in cold storage. When I
	visited him in June, Rosenfeld was smoking marijuana
	harvested nine years earlier. Because Rosenfeld finds the
	government's cigarettes too dry, he unwraps them, rehydrates
	the marijuana by placing it in a container with lettuce, and then
	re-rolls his own joints, he says.

	Rosenfeld's cigarettes are also not very potent by contemporary
	standards. They contain around 3.5% THC, which was about
	the average strength of dope seized in domestic street busts in
	1996, according to NIDA data.
