[edit] relationship with NIDA

I've removed part of a sentence regarding MAPS' relationship with the NIDA. The phrase was attributed to MAPS founder Rick Doblin regarding the NIDA and read:

"and "we don't want their weed" anyways becasue it is "schwag" a street term for low grade cheap pot." 

This was based on an actual quote by Doblin in which he said "we don't want their (the NIDA's) weed." Doblin was comparing the quality of NIDA medical marijuana to that made by Paget, GW Pharmaceuticals for research purposes. The quote was taken out of context such that it might imply that Doblin was discussing NIDA marijuana for personal use. Further, Doblin did not use the term "schwag" - that term was used by the author of the Mother Jones article. Jts3k 22:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple stubs

Grutness tells me that an article should be in no more than two stub categories, so i'm going to eliminate the "organization" stub as it seems the least useful of the three. if there are objections drop me a note and we can work something else out. --Heah (talk) 19:06, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
