I wrote the first national magazine article on Rick Simpson, and it produced a highly negative reaction from most of the activist community, which stunned me. But I did give a short speech in front of the University of Illinois Biochemistry department on Saturday and I urged them to reclaim their heritage as the leading center of cannabis research. (Roger Adams first isolated the cannabinoids in a secret project for the military as possible use as a truth serum.) But I told them that cannabis cures cancer and if an enterprising chemist would just jump to the front of the line and study the entire 85 cannabinoids and 120 terpenes, and not try to make a single molecule medicine, a noble prize was waiting. My speech brought down the house and I was surrounded by some of the biggest cancer researchers in the country asking me questions and giving me their email addresses.
