Free pot? Federal program ships marijuana to four

[Richard]

Seems like a program started in 1976 where the Gov okays university of Mississippi 68 million to have a pot farm which in turn disperses weed to test subjects.

If they have been testing sense 1976 why do they not base decisions on the results?

How can they declare a war on drugs but yet be a supplier?

In Firefox, I couldn't get that story's images to sequence with mouse clicks but I was able to navigate by appending "1/" "2/", etc. to the URL [[in case that helps anyone).

That program is not really news but it is little-known and an interesting story.

It's curious that the label says "approximately 300 cigarettes per can" for a substance so carefully controlled.

Locally they were interviewing the recipients,they seemed quite happy puffing away,but drawing attention to the program seems as though it would maybe want the gov to make it go away.

The Gov has had 20 years of real testing now,my thing is why do they not publish the results and form an opinion.Other then the cash cow aspect of the prison system.
