WACKY WEED RESEARCH

Re: Medicinal 'Weed' Helps the Ill: Doctor (the Suburban, Dec. 13).

Mark Ware is a quack. Marijuana is great medicine, but the bunk-weed
that Dr. Ware is using is barely even marijuana!

The research Ware is conducting uses the PPS marijuana grown in Flin-Flon.

This pot has been widely criticized as being weak and possibly
contaminated. It has been zapped with gamma-irradiation, which kills
a lot of the active ingredients.

So technically, Dr. Ware isn't doing research with real marijuana --
he is doing research with contaminated, weakened and treated
half-weed, which will completely skew any scientific results. Any
scientist worth his reputation would realize that this research is a
joke and scientifically worthless!
