RESEARCH CENTER LOOKS FOR PROFIT AMID PHARMACEUTICAL ADVANCES

Oxford, Mississippi -- A researcher at the University of
Mississippi have developed a marijuana-based rectal
suppository.

The researcher says the suppository contains the active ingredient in
marijuana, T-H-C. He says it could be useful for patients suffering
from nausea and other problems. He says the patient gets T-H-C's
medicinal value without the psychological high associated with smoking
marijuana.

He also says the drug is less likely to be abused this way. He figures
most people don't want any type of suppository.
