Movies like How High seem to question the wisdom of this blanket tolerance. The tale of two stoners who smoke mystical intelligence-increasing ganja and get into the College features drunk horses and prostitute-frequenting deans in addition to a great deal of pot-smoking in “Lovell House.” But administrators say they trust the public to distinguish real and fictional accounts of Harvard life and would only be concerned if there were any implied University endorsement. Harvard will not permit the use of the Veritas shield, diplomas or even the University website...
...personal legacy. An 11th-hour flare-up with Washington wouldn't help that effort and could risk backfiring. Says Wu Guoguang, a political-science professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong: "Every time Sino-American relations dip, Jiang ends up looking dumb." So who's stirring the pot? It may be China's hard-liners, particularly in the military and security apparatus, who are more skeptical than Jiang of improved ties with the U.S. Leaking the bugging story on the eve of Bush's visit might have been aimed at keeping Jiang from getting too cozy with the very...
...that could help replace tobacco and maybe save their farms, they aren't promoting any stoner foolishness. True, the crop they hope to grow is known to botanists as Cannabis sativa, but different races within that species can have widely varying amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the merrymaking chemical in pot. Marijuana will typically have anywhere from 3% to 20% THC. Hemp is bred to contain less than 1%. You could roll and smoke every leaf on a 15-ft. hemp plant and gain little more than a hacking cough...
...foreign governments were pushing drugs on Americans, hemp became anathema. That did have a certain logic at a time when the chemical line between the two crops was more blurred. THC wasn't identified as marijuana's active agent until 1964; it's likely that some pot and hemp plants back then were closer cousins than they are today. Even now, people caught with marijuana occasionally claim it's only hemp. Cops have complained that they can't tell the difference. And as recently as the mid-'90s, a few hemp-food products could trigger a false-positive result...
...scholarly study showed that today's hemp foods don't trigger false positives. What's more, in open fields, low-THC hemp is actually a threat to high-THC marijuana. Since hemp and marijuana are members of the same species, they will cross-pollinate, degrading the quality of any pot hidden in a hemp field...
