My dad was a recon, WWII, he rarely talked about the war. But this one stuck with me. At a home in Belgium they asked if they had seen any Germans, The reply was "Yes, they were here last night."
I must edit this...the way I understood it...they all were looking for a refuge.
It always amazes me, those quickest to aid with humanity are often the first to have it taken away... I couldn't imagine the lasting emotions such a event would have on someones life... Thank you for sharing Betterhaff
Heady, I'm still searching down if it was a real person or not, I'm guessing it was, so much history lost...
Blitzed Gardens
Early on during WW2 German bombers went on a night time raid over London. During the waves of bombers, a bomb was dropped right next to Westminster Cathedral, barley missing the historic landmark.
In traditional British satire a statement was made, a Victory garden was planted right in the crater of the bombs explosion...

She don't know where she's going,

"Most of the illicit material in the 1960s came from Mexico. So, in collaboration with the D.E.A. and the Mexican government, we acquired those seeds. Later, we acquired others from Colombia, Thailand, Jamaica, India, Pakistan and places in the Middle East. That permitted us to study chemical and botanical differences. By 1976, we were growing about 96 different varieties."

My first job here had to do with poison ivy. Then a better-paying position opened up at the Marijuana Project, and I moved to that. I liked the research, and I got on well with my supervisor and mentor, Dr. Carlton Turner, who later became the director of drug abuse policy in the Reagan White House. So, this work, it just happened.
-Mahmoud A. ElSohly
Taking over for Dr. Turner, his understudy, Dr. Mahmoud Elsohly took over the program where he still runs it to this day.

The cannabis grown at the University of Mississippi is said to go to "Federally Approved Researchers"...
M-Project also supplies the surviving medical patients grandfathered into the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program.

With very little research granted and a recent $68.8 million contract extension, adding acreage to the outdoor garden to now total 12 acre's, with an inside facility "at least 1000 square feet, having controls for light intensity, photo cycles, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration" growing in excess of 30,000 plants, one has to wonder?....
Who is all this cannabis for?

My last question for those working on M-Project, did they have trouble cashing their checks at the bank?...

Can we all just agree to bring back the term 'Draft'? Used in a sentence: 'Hey, let me get a Draft off that pipe.' After you stop coughing, 'Damn, that was a big Draft.'

That's what I was wondering, where is it all going? All these years, I know some went to the few that had the federal prescription for mj, but there are not many left so who's smoking it all?????
They probably use most of it for research purposes and any left forced to destroy it. I'm now curious if the people who have access to it get searched when they leave the facilities.
Billy, agreed on the draft, needs to come back, sounds better than 'hit'.

Speaking of draft, never seen a volunteer that looks like it's been mulched. Although maybe it was a volunteer that somebody decided to give some TLC.
Nora and all the folks at NIDA...they still want to make sure it's bad for you.
those few federal med patients are getting shipped herb from 5 or 6 years ago. i think they store it all.
Wonderfull Picture in Nr. 497! Very nice! As usual thanks for sharing your finds with us!
I agree Herman.
They deal joints. They just want the program to go away and it will when the last patient dies. The irony is the government still refuses to admit any medical benefit and the only reason they say they do it is the result of court order. Yet some of these patients have had their quality of life improved and prolonged even after years and years of steady use with little or no side effects.
