Exclusive license has been granted to Univ of Mississippi for more than 40 years


Washington, D.C. -- The federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) last week for the “Production, Analysis, & Distribution of Cannabis & Marijuana Cigarettes.” Although the government has issued an exclusive contract to the University of Mississippi for more than 40 years, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is allegedly seeking competitive applications to "grow, harvest, analyze, store and distribute" cannabis (marijuana) "on large and small scales." The RFP also seeks applicants that can "extract cannabis to obtain purified phytocannabinoids," including tetrahydrocannabinol, otherwise known as THC, "prepare marijuana cigarettes and related products," and "distribute marijuana, marijuana cigarettes and cannabinoids, and other related products for research and other Government programs."
