"DEA: More Marijuana Needed for Studies"--

- reminds me of a professor we had in med school. He told us if we were ever caught with some "pot" we should always claim we'd confiscated it from our patients for testing at the provincial labs. 

- the same guy told us we should sample everything we prescribed, ...to see how it felt. In retrospect, I think I took him way too seriously. OK now though!
