Block said that, depending on the results, the study might ultimately be used to support political positions on marijuana. Those could include whether there should be harsher criminal penalties, whether it should be decriminalized, or whether it should be allowed for medicinal purposes.



Translation: When the study results don't support the government's hard line stance on cannabis, they'll bury the study conclusions and forget anything was ever done....

Follow the link!

$50/eighth of seriously kind BC bud. $600 would hook someone UP!

I wish I was closer. I'd rock that test like Dr. Johnny Fever aced the drunk test on WKRP.

If they wanna send me the bud, I'll make up some biatchin' results and a batch of oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies. They don't even have to pay me the 6 bills.

Win/win

 
PoissonRouge 2008-04-12 05:57:32 PM  
For that money, I'd be willing to start smoking pot.

I was thinking of participating, but dude, you had to get there by like 10 o clock in the morning.

Pullarius 2008-04-12 05:59:01 PM  
Unfortunately they then hike the prices in the lab's vending machines bu 1000%, so they just make the money right back.

$40/quarter standard fare here in bc

Think how many cheetos $600 could buy, though

 
wildcardjack 2008-04-12 05:59:20 PM  
I'll put the bid up to $800!

This is Iowa, though. They probably get their pot from Wisconsin.

/I had to pull up Google Maps to find an Iowa border state

I'm gonna ignore the 'BC bud is the greatest' idiots this time, and simply point out that $600 won't even pay for my papers.

 
JerkyMeat 2008-04-12 06:14:20 PM  
to smoke their pot.

I find that line a little condescending....

Iowa City is one of my favorite places to visit. Great bars, hot girls. Kyle Orton loves the place too.

You know, if one lab can legally encourage people to smoke pot (in the name of science, of course), then you'd think any lab in the country would have the right to get us all blazed out of our minds (in the name of science). Instead of 'medicinal' use marijuana, maybe it would be easier to lobby for 'scientific' use maryjane.

/wants funding to study the effects of whiskey, cocaine, and hard-core porn over prolonged periods of time
//i'll just pay myself the $600
///which i will then use to fund a close-up study on 2 prostitutes
//one of whom is named 'Candi'
/i need some sleep..

"---we are giving this fiasco every ostensible facade of a legitimate scientific study, but in reality since the results are already known beforehand, so we intend to pocket the money, write up the conclusions, and fake the data to fit."

"Anything less would get our funding curtailed, and we aren't fools, you know."


That about get it?

Dammit, why can't other Big 10 schools do this?

this seems way too good to be true. in a week there will be a follow-up tag letting us know that it really was a trap and a million people were arrested for something stupid like "conspiracy to smoke an illegal substance". i'll just sit back and watch for now!

 
JSTACAT [TotalFark] 2008-04-12 06:30:33 PM  
you'd have to be virginally clean of thc to get accepted,

but at least some of the guys standing in line havn't figured that out yet.
they will flunk their 'admission test', by that, having admitted they're a user...

well, maybe thats part of the study...
