FOLLOW UP ON RESEARCH

Why so many anti-medical marijuana editorials lately? Seems to be 
lots of opinion but little factual information.

As I understand it, much of what little research on marijuana in the 
U.S. was done right here in Arkansas at the National Center for 
Toxicological Research facility in Jefferson back in the 1980s. Why 
not send a reporter down there to see if anyone involved is still 
around and talk to them about their study results?

Time is changing opinions of many about this plant, and if 
restrictions are eased on its cultivation, Arkansas farmers just 
might get a new crop to grow, and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette a new 
source of cheaper newsprint that won't curl on the edges.
