Prof: Uncle Sam grows schwag bud

WASHINGTON - Put this in your pipe and smoke it: A University of Massachusetts professor says the medical marijuana grown by the federal government isn't very good. He wants a permit to cultivate his own pot, saying it will be better for research.
Lyle Craker, a horticulturist who heads the school's medicinal plant program, is challenging the government's 36-year-old monopoly on research marijuana. Craker's suit claims government-grown marijuana lacks the potency medical researchers need to make important breakthroughs.

"The government's marijuana just isn't strong enough," said Richard Doblin, a Craker supporter who heads the Massachusetts-based Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies.

A hearing before a federal administrative judge at the Drug Enforcement Administration got under way Monday and is expected to last all week.


I believe that the kine is being held back at DEA offices. Maybe we need to partner with the Canadian gov't on this.

My alma mater...gotta love UMass. I took a class there called Organic Farming and Gardening and it was entirely populated by dudes who wanted to grow weed.

It shouldn't be schedule 1 in the first place. Coke is schedule II.

Changing the schedule is the first step imo.

At least they aren't blaming this on GWB. Yet.
