Federal Government Ordered 1000 Lbs Of Marijuana

[trix]

Washington, D.C. -- The federal government just ordered all the marijuana it wants -- something it would send most Americans to prison for doing.

 

On Monday, the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a new rule that increases the U.S. government's production quota for medical marijuana from an annual 21 kg to 650 kg. That's about 1,433 pounds of pot in total.

The U.S. government grows marijuana for research purposes at the University of Mississippi in the only federally legal marijuana garden in the U.S. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) oversees the cultivation, production and distribution of these crops.

 

"NIDA recently notified the DEA that it required additional supplies of marijuana to be manufactured in 2014 to provide for current and anticipated research efforts involving marijuana," reads a recent Federal Register's statement from the DEA.

 

The statement goes on to specify a production quota of 650,000 grams of pot for the current year.

 

The DEA decided to grant NIDA access to more marijuana "in order to provide a continuous and uninterrupted supply" of cannabis for research, according to the statement, which also says that the federal government was "unaware" of NIDA's need for additional marijuana when the initial production quota of 21 kg was set in 2013.

Talk about an eye opener. Call it The Stash That Resheduled Marijuana. Grow it well, test it with real patients, and everything will be just fine.

AG Holder is a criminal. Where did he get the marijuana? From Mexican cartels? Another detour to take attention off Bengazi and the fact that this corrupt administration will no be accountable for any of it's illegal actions.Import MJ. Gee a lot of American could use a job. This has got to be the stupidest plan yet. Mexico will legalize before the US and now you know why.

Read it. They grow it at the University of Mississippi. This is what every medical cannabis patient wants and needs. We PATIENTS have been begging and pleading for this for years. Now you want to use it for petty politics along with some other BS right wing propaganda from the news that preys on the weak minded.

Rest,can't you see this isn't right wing stuff? It's true! THEY are the ones using it politically! I'm sick of you jumping on me. If you voted for the fake prez,TWICE.....then I blame YOU for all of it. How many times have we heard the promise of legalizing? Do YOU have a job? If you don't because you are disabled,you should get help. If you don't because you won't pass a drug test,that's your own fault. There IS a whole world out here that does not LIVE for MJ. And don't try the guilt crap. It's getting real old. You want to pick it with me? Lets go to the PMs,not in public. You like to get your friends in on it. Bring it on..............in fact how about I give you my mail address so you can talk to me without your band of bullies. WEAK MINDED MY BUTT. You wouldn't say anything if I was a man,would you? Go ahead,answer that one publicly. But you won't. You never answer one question I put to you.

Don't be all too surprised that a medical marijuana web site will have members that protect the rights of patients and cheer when we win a battle. Hip Hip Hooray! Pay close attention and you just might see us dance a little when we get our drug of choice rescheduled. lol I will dance an Irish Jig for ya. If you are a real MEDICAL MARIJUANA patient then you can dance right along with me. Fakers will just whine and poo poo on it. Edited May 6, 2014 by Restorium2

Saw an interview with one of the main researchers in the US marijuana research program. At they time they mostly grew cannabis in the 5% THC range because need consistency in their product. (Although I think there are only a couple of folks that procure directly from them.) Prolly most folks here wouldn't be happy with the government grow unless they wanted to make concentrates!

[trichcycler]

that silly gov hasn't discovered the cup winning genetics and indoor gardening techniques available on the net yet. They're probably still growing with stolen street lamps and tin foil wrap.

[trichcycler]

this leads me to believe they grow maximum size plants that do not finish properly, and grind up the whole of them. where's the buds man??

[Norby]

They are doubling down to put out more studies on monkeys with gas masks to show it doesn't work.

Quantity over quality!
