The agencies estimated the street value of the drugs at $11. Law enforcement agencies in 35 states took part to raise awareness of the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program for drug enforcement.

Medical Cannabis Is A Blunt Tool
Medical News Today – Jul 28, 2006
Yet results of clinical trials have been mixed and its use in modern medicine remains limited. Now it seems the reasons may be practical as much as political and cultural: there are fundamental problems with how our bodies respond to the stuff. Some compounds in cannabis, including THC and cannabidiol, interfere with a natural signalling system throughout our brains, nerves and immune system. This system, which produces its own cannabis-like compounds called endocannabinoids, plays a role in many medical conditions including pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, depression and schizophrenia. Because the system is so widespread, smoking or ingesting cannabis is bound to have varied effects, including its influence on the mind. Now it seems that even with purified cannabis extracts, changing the amount, time or place of a dose could produce completely opposite effects on the body, according to evidence presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) meeting in Vienna earlier this month. This could explain why the medical benefits have proved so difficult to harness.
