MARIJUANA RESEARCH IN CATCH-22
John A. Benson Jr. and Stanley J. Watson Jr. say that "the (medical
marijuana) debate should really be about the promise of future drug
development" (May 4).
They fail to address the issue that is currently preventing the development
of cannabinoid drugs: prohibition. How can any cannabinoid drug research
and development work be done in the private sector if it is a crime to grow
cannabis?
