"So I may have the proceedure wrong, but it is possible to grow and test." Not without the DEA's prior approval it isn't. Not in the US. (And, even when other countries, such as Canada, move in the direction of enabling medical research, the DEA sends people up to make speeches against it, threaten international cooperation and funding. Hell - the Canadians alleged that the US had threatened to increase the tariffs on pulpwood exports. LOL! Hard-ball politics gets played out over this.) And, as I've already pointed out: the DEA's mandate is to control and 'defeat' illegal drugs... not to permit research into possible benefits from them. If the DEA permitted medical research, then they might lose their bureaucratic turf one day, lose their mandate. (No bureaucracy can rationally be expected to want to REDUCE it's own size and power and influence. :-)
