That Bigwood link states that Fusarium fungus produces kids born without brains, and that the fungus can kill people with bad colds or who are exhausted--and I can tell you that while working on a farm during harvest--when you are very close to the soil and the fungus--you are exhausted from working 14 hours a day to get the crop in!!

This is horrible stuff, and it seems fitting that it should be tested in the backyards and home districts of the political idiots recommending it!!

From the Bigwoood link:
"The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had openly funded some of the early research on Fusarium and marijuana during the 1970s at the same time the CIA and DoE were funding clandestine work, but they pulled out after finding that the fungus itself could infect and kill mammals, including humans with deficient immune systems - such as people with bad colds or suffering from exhaustion."

Exactly -- there are hundreds of strains of fusrium and it's known for its ability to mutate.  The very fact that the DEA thought it was a very bad idea is enough to send chills down my spine -- they're not exactly known for taking rational, compassionate stances.
