cannabisnews.com: U.S. to Deal Reefer! U.S. to Deal Reefer! Posted by FoM on May 23, 1999 at 12:24:37 PT But it'll only sell for research use! Source: New York Daily News WASHINGTONThe Clinton administration yesterday approved the sale of marijuana from the government's own pot farm to "bona fide" researchers on the medical uses of grass. The Health and Human Services Department hasn't figured out how much to charge for the cannabis grown on a 1 1/2-acre U.S. plot at the University of Mississippi, but the agency published guidelines on its sale.Currently, the government supplies marijuana from its farm for four medical studies at a cost to taxpayers of $1.2 million.But under the new rules, privately funded researchers will have access to the Mississippi weed on a "cost-reimbursable basis," said Dr. Steve Gust, special assistant to the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.Click the above link to read the whole article!

Our government forbids us to use this substance, and yet they take our money to grow it and deal it away. If our government is going to use OUR money in this fashion, then they must legalize marijuana. Not for medical use but for recreational use.

Hello Dr. Ganj,I must confess I've never bought any seeds since they are in abundance in my state. I never heard of seed sales until a few years ago so I've read different posts by people and I must say Marc Emery seems to really know what he is talking about and it is so cool to see someone of his caliber posting on Cannabis.com! I watched him on CNN and he has done so much good and gotten so much flack!I'll beat you in line at the Dispensary! LOL!Peace, FoM! [ Post Comment ] Comment #4 posted by Dr. Ganj on May 24, 1999 at 15:53:16 PT The Government Should Order Some Real Seeds! I think 5,000 years of known consumption of cannabis and its related products without any deaths caused by overdose, is quite a testimony to its benign nature.Hearing more about Rainbow's experiences would be very interesting. It would simply validate to more people what many already know: Marijuana is medicine, and should be allowed to be dispensed as a schedule II, or III compound. See you at the dispensary!Dr. Ganj http://www.emeryseeds.com [ Post Comment ] Comment #3 posted by FoM on May 24, 1999 at 11:19:31 PT Gov't stuff is Aok WoW! Rainbow! Why don't you write about your experiences? I would really love to see how it effected you in your own words! You surely have first hand information and that is really news!Peace, FoM!

I was part of 2 studies looking at the effecs of MJ, a barbituate and hypnosis and the other the effects of MJ and some psychomotor skills. I gotta say that the ice cream and cookies were especially good on days I got the real stuff and not the placebo.I never did see the results of the University of Washington studies.Clinton was not there since we had to inhale ;-)Rainbow [ Post Comment ] Comment #1 posted by BigAb on May 24, 1999 at 04:31:02 PT: Stems and Seeds !!!!!
