Although an extremely hard-to-swallow event, I don't see a connection -- especially if police no longer seek out pot-growing operations which could be profitable for many. Let's not criticize the possibilities of a drug that can be produced all-natural and which may be no worse than Celebrex or Vioxx -- which were allowed to enter the market while still under review.
